You did an excellent job. For future reference you may google for 'dos boot floppy' and find something like this: http://www.bootdisk.com/ Then you will have to master "image writing", i.e. the floppies are in form of raw images and if copied won't work. You need to find a proggie that writes images. In unix we have dd, in windows world I use fdimage.exe but there others. You simply drop the fdimage.exe into WINNT\System32\ directory, open a "terminal" in Windows and type: fdimage img.flp a: where img.flp is an image of a floppy you want; keep in mind that most floppy "readability" problems are actually nameing format problems, in short: you can rename image/bin files to something like imag1.flp or similar. You can add -v option key to the command string above and it will work in more verbose mode providing you more feedback: fdimage -v img.flp a: If you have some kind of unixy system, read on dd Example: dd if=/dev/rsd0 of=ripped where if can be input file (SCSI CD #0 in this case) and of is output file, and for our case writing an image of boot diskette: dd if=boot.flp of=/dev/fd0 (floppy drive #0 in FreeBSD) The dd examples are simplified, you'll have to look for more detailed info on your platform, since they treat devices differently and there are quite a few options in regards to formatting. The idea is you dd from if to of (with options on top of that if you need). I just wanted to show how to do the same if you don't have access to Win'9x or DOS. Now you can 'burn' images in Mac OS X. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!
