XP floppy boot disk errors

Posted: 12-02-2003, 03:22 PM
I've created six boot disks (floppies) to enable
partitioning and formatting of a new HDD (on another
machine). But when the downloaded .exe file unpacks, some
files are damaged: disk 5 contains a number of errors
(files are named ".sy_" instead of ".sys").
I fixed them manually but I still get a blue screen
message with disk 5: "The file flpydisk.sys is
corrupted". It looks fine to me, but is there somewhere
else I can get it? I have repeatedly unpacked the .exe
file (requires disks 1-4 to also be written each time).

Thanks
