That's odd. Floppies have never failed on me. Maybe the disk drive is dirty inside? Alternatively, you can make a CD boot image off of the floppy. CDs use floppy images to boot, so it should be pretty straight forward to make bootable CDs out of floppies. CDs are more reliable than floppies, I think... -Mark -- Mark K.
