bootdisk problem with win2k

[paully1]

I have win2k installed and tried making a new boot and rootdisk to install slack 8 on the unused portion of the hard drive but for some reason it wont make them. Is there some kind of bug with win2k and rawrite? I've never had a problem making them before.The following is what I get in the dos window:::

j:\BOOTDSKS.144>rawrite ata100.i a:
Number fo sectors per track for this disk is 18
Writing image to drive A:. Press ^C to abort
Attempt to DMA across 64K boundary

It all just pops up at once. I made sure they were formatted disks and my win2k filesystem is fat32. I guess it has to do with that dma boundary? I have no idea, anyone know?

thanks
paul

Try using a rawrite from somewhere else...I had this problem trying to make FreeBSD disks with their rawrite, but the Debian rawrite did them just fine...

Try DiskWrite (http://www.zdnet.com/downloads/stories/info/0,10615,65399,00.html) it works with 9X/ME/NT/2000 and free!
