[Techtoolslist] Fluke 9100A - Cannot boot from system disks

[Marc Desfossés]

Hi Ian,

I am using samdisk on a Windows 2000 PC to write images on disks. The floppy drive is HD.

I write them using this commandline. It worked for disks such as the service disk 1.4.

    samdisk copy STREAM A:

The disks I am using are double density disks that were brand new.  They actually came with the Fluke and have a Fluke sticker on them.

I did read the README where you explain some problems writing with HD drive and media. I also tried formatting the disks with the 9100A first as suggested in the README with no luck.

Are you burning your images with samdisk or dtc ?

Thanks

Marc

The second set you linked is what you want:

I created those dumps and have installed several machines, both
9100A and 9100FT, with them.  They are exact, low-level copies of
virgin factory media.

How are you writing the images to the disks?  Did you read the
section of the README that covers use of high-density drives and
media?
