Yeah, now I remember. Well, guess I must find a
'working floppy'. Can use fdisk to format the hd or at
least part of it from a live cd in ram.

Wondering if somehow, no fat partition is being
detected and instead it is balking at that?

Ed/ke7feg

Did I mention, 2/23/07 the FCC dropped all cw (ADA Morse code) testing for any class of license as a ham? Just pass the written and "U's a ham"!! Many sites test online, but you have to go for the real test. $14 for as high as you can climb in one session.
