If the disk is already formated will "dd" remove the formatting?
I typed "dd if=install.1 of=/dev/fd0" at the command prompt and was told "dd is not recognised as an external or internal command, operable program or batch file"?
No you have a kernel panic, it is not good
Maybe try with another floppy, did the rawrite
command end with success in windows ?
[edit]
You did read the readme.txt files in /bootdisks and /rootdisks dir, didn't you ?
There are several rawrite.exe versions, maybe the one you used is not
good for you
Am I supposed to use rawrite to make the sbootmgr.dsk disk since none of my rawrite versions work. version 12 which worked before appears to display a message but the window closes down almost as soon as it appears so it's impossible to read.
I used the NT version and that appears to have worked but when using the disk on the target computer, in just a second or two a new messages comes up just like the last asking for disk#4. I'm not even sure it had time to read the whole of disk#3... what now?
