Try to use rawrite.exe instead of fdimage. I've heard a couple of people complaining
about it. The file sizes are fine however. Remember that it is a complete disk image, not
just the 1.44M worth of data you 're used to put on a floppy. 

If you have access to a unix machine at all, try to use dd, as i've yet to see that fail :)

cheers
