When I use memdisk to boot a Windows ME or Windows XP Boot Floppy Image the system locks up, see attached jpg of VMWARE system. This happens in both VMWARE and on a real PC. If I use memdisk to boot a FREEDOS Boot Disk Image everything works great. Any suggestions? =======================================================Eugene E.

If you want to take a screenshot or whatever, please post it to some web space and email the link instead. Remember, every email you send goes to every member of the list, and it's just rude to be sending out 1200+-line emails to so many people who probably aren't going to be interested or able to help. And some of us have to pay for bandwidth; even more of us have to endure annoyingly small mail server disk quotas.

If these images expect to talk to a real floppy device, they're never going to work with MEMDISK. WinME is surprising, though... I at least was under the belief that it was just DOS. -hpa
