Emax

There is your problem. DOS is the operating system which most home PC's ran on until 
Windows 95. Even early versions of Windows were actually just shells running on top of 
DOS. It is a command line interface not unlike UNIX. 

The problem you are facing (as I understand it) is that from Windows 95 forward 
Microsoft's Operating Systems reserved certain sections of a disc's boot sector for it's 
Operating Sytems to use. This means that EMX is not actually able to get access to 
certain boot sectors to write data to them, which it must be able to do. Windows XP isn't 
built upon a DOS platform at all.

In the files section there are a couple of alternative downloads you can try. There is a 
file called CopyQm & ZD777 image Emax II 2.14 - CopyQM is a disk imager. Then there 
are two different files that can create either a DOS 5 or DOS 6.22 boot disk. I'd try the 
Copy QM version first as the other two might not work on your XP machine.
