    There's the problem!!

    I don't want you to copy that downloaded file to the floppy. I want you to download it to your Desktop and double click on it. It will give you instructions from that point.

    Do it that way and it'll create the proper files on the floppy for booting.

    Yes, give it a go the proper way and I'll stick around until you get it sorted.

    Please don't wait around any longer, it is not urgent.

    I did as you said but now when I click on the file a message comes up saying 'floppy cannot be acceded. Check another application isn't using it'

    OK, I'll check back later. Review what I have posted and follow the directions exactly. Be sure you are running the download from its location on your Desktop. Do not run it from the floppy itself. If should not be on the floppy at all.
