You cannot simply copy them to a DOS +floppy as regular files, you need to *image* copy them to the floppy with +rawrite.exe or `dd' under UNIX (again, please see the installation docs +[in INSTALL.TXT] for details). Also note that the rawrite.exe program +ONLY WORKS UNDER DOS. If you're running Win95, boot into DOS mode before +running it. If you're running NT, use a different machine to make your +boot floppy. Both Win95 and WinNT interfere with rawrite's abiltiy to +talk directly to the floppy drive. |
