No joy, it was the Mac express...

I have formatted and copied the image to 4 different diskettes, using both rawrite2 and Winima81, they both seem to create the floppy ok but the diskette will not boot.

If I insert the diskette prior to power up, it is ejected 3-4 seconds after switching on the Mac and I get the 'diskette+X'. I can hear the diskette drive doing continual seeks, whether the diskette is in or not.

If I insert the diskette after power up (the 'diskette+X' is already on the screen) it seems to change nothing, I hear the diskette drive doing continual seeks. The only way to get the diskette back out is a pin in the little hole or cycle the power switch.

I wish I knew someone local with a Mac, I'd get them to create a boot diskette.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks...
