Windows Forum / Windows 95 / July 2003Bootdisk.com Bootdisk Won't Boot
So I went to Bootdisk.com and downloaded an .exe file, that says it is a boot disk. I used PKUNZIP to unzip it, and it became a very large file, with extension .IMA or something. I then copied the file to a floppy, where it did nothing. Obviously I am doing something wrong. What might I be doing wrong> Run the exe as you would any program and it will make a bootable floppy. Don't try to unzip it. > So I went to Bootdisk.com and downloaded an .exe file, that says it is a > boot disk.

Running the exe from "Start > Run is fine". Or is there some reason you can't run the exe? If you would like me to make a zip file of the contents of a boot disk and email it to you, I can. Just tell me which bootdisk you need. You would then only have to unzip the archive to a blank floppy and then test it by booting up with the floppy in the drive. > I have to MAKE the boot disk on a good, unbroken computer, running it from > the <start> <run> menu in Windows, with a clean floppy in drive A?
