2007-10-17 by mks50

hi folks ,  i'm still stuck after booting with the bootdisk 6.22
provided in the files section and using a fat16 formatted 1.44 disk to
contain the image and emaxutil ,  i still get the same message error
in emaxutil  : 
can't read /write the  image

and i only have SATA hard drives and only one floppy drive . did 
anyone managed to do it  with a complete virtual dos system ( using
VMware  )

Did you make sure you are using a 720K disk to write the image to?  
They are 1.44MB floppy, but emax only reads / writes 720. So it MUST  
have the hole covered (not the write protect, the other one).

Just a thought.
