I thought I had the installation going after screwing up the whole 
c drive. Now, I can get to commit part, but somewhere in the middle
of the commit, I got an error saying "boot image not found, try to
locate from floppy drive." What is my problem now? I tried to do
rawrite a boot.flp to a diskette and I still have the same problem.
Also, after I had re-partition the hard disk for several times, the
fips now telling me that "partition table corrupted" snd exit with
error. I just have one question here, after we partition the hard disk,
are we suppose to format it before we do a dos-installation?

I'll be very grateful for your input.
