I think you might be using the wrong approach. Under Linux =========== mount /mnt/cdrom cd /mnt/cdrom/images cp bootnet.img /dev/fd0 Under Windows/DOS (assuming CD is in D:) ================= Go to the command prompt D: cd images \dosutils\rawrite I think it asks for the image file first, answer bootnet.img then A: for the drive. You can't copy the image file to the filesystem as it already is a complete filesystem and is exactly 1.44Mb, you have to copy it to the device instead. -- ---<GRiP>--- Web: www.arcadia.au.com/gripz Phone/fax: 02 4950 1194 Mobile: 0408 686 201 -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
