I downloaded boot.flp and used rawrite from DOS (I rebooted my machine and told it to go to the command line instead of Windows) to write the image to a floppy. Then I rebooted my computer again with the floppy in the A: drive. Here is where it doesn't work. When my computer gets past the BIOS status screen the disk is read for about five seconds and then the computer locks up. Nothing at all happens, no boot:, no nothing. Anyone have any ideas what could be going on? Thanks Nathan Ferris nferris@spider.innercite.com
