Hello all,

I've used the DOS rawrite.exe to create a bootable floppy with the boot.fs.
But, my 600au doesn't boot to the floppy.  Instead, it boots right past it
to the >>>.  What commands from the ">>>" prompt could I use to verify the
contents of the floppy?  I tried to look at the 3.5" floppy from my winxp
box, but I got this message:

"The volume does not contain a recognized file system.
Please make sure that all required file system drivers are loaded and that
the volume is not corrupted."
 

I wasn't expecting this message -- I thought there was a single universal fs
for 3.5" floppies.


Thanks,

--Erik Ostermueller
