Sounds like you've got a floppy with a few bad sectors in it.

Try a new,fresh floppy.. 1440k should be no problem with a fresh floppy.

Tomsrtbt formats and copies over 1770 to the floppy disk
when your making his distro boot floppy..

I've got an old utility from Win95 days called GRDuw, made by GRSoft. I got it off my old ISP (www.lctn.com) in their utilities. I just checked & they don't have it anymore. It reformats a regular floppy to hold 1.66M. I will try that other program & see if it works better.

I am going to try one more time to make a DSL CD. I messed it up the first time, but I am using a RW CD that I can rerecord on. I don't have a cd burner, so step-father is letting me use his dsl hook-up & cd burner. The DSL image is still in my folder on his computer. I figured I booboo the first round. Let you know next week how it goes. Thanks.

:D  I did some digging & found it at this address at winsite: http://www.winsite.com/bin/Info?500000011914 . It's a little crude, but works pretty good.

Why do that

rawwritewin will burn an image of the floppy...and the boot floppy is already in the cd iso...

if you want a copy of rawwritewin to to http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/rawwrite.htm
