FD FDISK worked for me just now (unreleased MetaDOS floppy image), but I'm loading a fairly spartan setup, so it's lacking a lot of drivers and complex stuff. I only created a small (100 MB?) .VHD image, but I seemed to be able to use it successfully. Try again, or at least be more specific what format and size you're trying to use. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
