Did You do it the right way...? I mean 'rawrite' to the disk, not to copy? To 'rawrite, (copy the rawrite.exe file to a dos directory with the resc1140.bin and drv1440.bin. And in dos (not in windows!) in that directory) use the command rawrite2 -f file -d drive to create the disks. (Where file is resc1440.bin or drv1440.bin and drive is A: or possibly B: if you happen to have two floppy drives.) The drv1440.bin you'll need as well. But the installation process is started with the resc1440 disk. The resc disk is a boot and installation disk. You should have on the cd as well the installation manual, where most of the important things are explained. There is probably an boot.bat as well on your cd. You can use that as well. That should be an easier way actually than the floppies. But please try to find and read the installation manual. To see all the things how to prepare your hard disk etc. Please ask on this list what ever problems you'll have! hv [EMAIL PROTECTED]
