Thanks to all who replied to my cry for help! I finaly used FDISK in the Windows\Command directory to remove the Extra DOS partition, which only had a copy of my recycle bin. Of course I defraged first.
Then I rebooted from the RESCUE disk, after my BIOS loaded ( there is an option to boot from A: or C: if I hold the CTRL key when booting). I "succesfuly" partitioned a Linux partition, 265 Mbytes, Primary, went through the maze (choices are NOT in order of when I could do them)to make a swap partition of 5 Mbytes, Logical, then installed the 3 driver disks and 11 ".bin" disks. When prompted to Make Linux boot from hard drive or floppy, I chose floppy. After the format process (which stated my raw capacity as -3680), The message, not word for word "there was an error...the floppy is write protected or not in the first drive" appeared. I only had 3 formatted 1.44 disks, and all failed. Write prtect off, and obviously in the correct drive. I have tried to reboot, then try to make a boot flopy again, but same error. Does anyone have an Idea for me? Ed Burton [EMAIL PROTECTED] __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send instant messages & get email alerts with Yahoo!
