It is important to unzip directly onto a K5000 formatted disk, so as to preserve the weird K5000 format. Windows 'copy' will (as I understand it) treat it as a fat16 formatted disk when it's not really. The K5000 then gets stuck reading it, because it expects its own format (I heard somewhere that there is a fat12 format which might be what it is - close enough that windows treats them the same, different enough that the lower K5000 can't read the higher). There are some disk images and instructions that should allow you to create a system disk entirely from the PC in the Files section of the group site on yahoo. There was a mesage a little while ago that recommended a specific disk-image writer program for Windows, raw-write maybe? If you have preserved the format by extracting directly, I don't know, maybe a disk error or drive malfunction?

It seems like it's loading fine, but it gets stuck at tnd. The loading screen stays on. When I power off and on, without the disk inserted, I get the disk error. Anyone have this problem?
