Have you tried other floppies, did you format them yourself, even if they
came "Dosformated" out of the box ? Maybe you have other problems with
your hardware, but this is the first thing to think about, at least from
my (few) experiences in my homelan. It took me 4 or 6 floppies the last
time I did an install.

And you should maybe do the fdimaging not in a windows dosbox but in real
dos, if you did it this way.

Maybe it helps, good luck, Heiko
