Default [Fixed] Boot disk (Floppies) problems

Trying to build a "boot disk pack" of 4 floppies for WIN2000PRO using the Bootdisk.com downloads. There are four (4) disks included in the package...and they download zipped. When I extract the zip files-- there is approximately 1.44Mb of data in each group. I try to place the extracted data onto a 1.44Mb floppy and always get the error message that the file is too large for the floppy. Does not matter which of the four -- they all refuse to be placed on the floppies. I do not have a CD burner but do have bunches of floppies. Any help most appreciated.

The files zipped files you downloaded are .img files. To write these to floppys download rawwrite .07 for windows from this page.

It's a very small program. open the program and on the write tab set the image file as the .img files that you downloaded. Write each file to a separate disk. This should solve your problem.
