From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0) I was trying to make a boot floppy on a Toshiba Satellite 2595CDT laptop running Windows 2000. I went to "dosutils" on the Red Hat 7.1 CD1 and followed the instructions for making a boot floppy. Sometimes it gets an error: Drive A: Unable to lock for exclusive access .... It gives me the choice of "Close", "Abort" or "Ignore". "Ignore" appears to create a valid boot floppy. I think this is a Windows 2000 problem and not a problem with "rawrite", but I wanted you folks to know about it anyhow. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Load the Red Hat 7.1 in the CD drive 2. Put a formatted floppy in the floppy drive 3. Open a command window 4. Type e: (whatever your CD drive letter is) cd dosutils rawrite When it asks for the file, enter "..\images\boot.img" When it asks for the drive, enter "A:" Hit "Enter" when it asks for the floppy disk
