I'm supposed to be at 'root' this is off of a direct installation from the dostools.zip. I built the boot disk as instructed, also ran the boot.bat from DOS and both return the same message. I selected 1 to make the disks and then it goes through all it's stuff up this problem. The disks are not write protected either. I was able to use the makefd boot disk without any problems and I've formatted the disks using fdformat program before. I've done a previous disk batch from version 7rb3 or something in that area and it worked.
