Hi, I am trying to install Win 98 through VM Ware. I don't have a floppy and none of my Win CDs will boot so-- Using dd if=/dev/hdd of=boot.copy where /dev/hdd is my LS 120 I then attempt to boot VMware using the file boot.copy. It allows me to select the CDRom support option but then, at various times will give errors in config.sys, country.sys and command.com. The floppy I created the image from will indeed allow me to start installing windows when I boot from it after POST prior to boot magic so there seems to be something going wrong with the "dd" option. Looking at the Man and Info pages for dd doesn't help. Am I missing an argument in the "dd" statement Stu -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
