Making the 172Mb disks.......I just can't get it to work..beginner!

I've downloaded the mulinux images and dos stuff, and have managed to
get the initial install disk made under NT4, but from then on it goes
all pear shaped

I've tried on 3 different machines, but with no success. I keep getting
an error when I try to create the disk set. There seems to be some
problems with the dis sectors!. I therefore bought a new drive and a new
set of MAXELL disks, but even that didn't help.

I've tried using fdformat.exe under NT.
I've tried using SuperFormat from feiz just to see it it was at all
possible to format my disks to 1.72Mb (it wouldn't work either)

What can I be doing wrong?
Do I need to use a special type of disks (except high quality)?
Do I need a special floppy drive?
Do I need to enable something in the BIOS?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

regards,
Anders Smith
