I would reboot my Win9x system into "dos mode" and give it a try. To download
yet another Windows program to get around Window's tempermental spasms seems like
the wrong thing to do. Accepting Window's lack of performance is what got us all
dependent on them to begin with. I got around the whole thing by dumping 'doze
altogether:
use Linux:
dd if=boot.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k
Hang in there boys ... help is on the way!
