Dear Stuart. The same problem I've had in my first tries to install linux
on my machine. First of al you must frmat the floppy from Win95 wth the
command "format a: /u" and then you must run a defragmentation utillity
like Speedisk of nortn utillities with the Whipe unused space enabled to
clear all the space of the floppy.
After all those you can use rawrite. Its recomended to do these actions
cause the rawrite writes data on your disc whithout error checks.
 Good luck.
