You have to boot clean to use Flopper. Format a diskette like this:=0D

format a: /s=0D

However, make sure you follow the installation for Flopper -- it requires=

writing a special disk and then booting from that disk. This is so it can=

record "booting" information and then use that info to "boot" the floppy
