The page I was reading said you could write the image to either size floppy. When I try to write to the 1.2M disk, I get an error at the end that says I have a bad sector at sector #1. Sure enough, the disk won't boot. I tried several different disks with the same result. Writing to a 1.44 disk works fine no errors) and the disk boots (tried with my computer at work this morning). This is with the same boot image and rawrite program. Any ideas out there?
