I tried that, but got errors there too, varying according to choice of drivers loaded at boot. > http://www.linfo.org/freedos_floppy.html That helped. After continuing to get failures from dd, it made me think to try a different/third machine/floppy drive (running OS/2), and got rawrite to make a floppy that enabled me to boot and FORMAT C: /S. Chkdsk (0.9) isn't reporting filesystem type. Is that usual in FreeDOS? My C: is 243M, which I had expected to use FAT16B and have a smaller cluster size than 4096, but I guess I'm just rustier than expected on FAT stuff, or am I? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
