hi there,

thanks for your help, looks like i was missing a couple of files. it also looks like windows does more thn just copy the files to the floppy.

i was comparing my disk made in knoppix with a windows bootdisk made by windows.

on the windows bootdisk it had a 0 byte file called ebd.sys so i added that file with kedit

the msdos.sys was also completely different so i edited that also.

tried it but it still dosnt work

i guess that another file has been changed also as the 'real' windows bootdisk is 2 bytes larger
