thx u guys. I am looking at the linux bottloader now(i have before) and it looks like it reprograms the floppy tables, hmm :-\ Well, i got my os running cause i cut it down to 16 sectors and loaded it only prob now is coding a usb kbd drive, lol :) Curufir is right, u should expect the worst. So that's why i'm taking all this time to fix this crap, anyway, thx.

Pype.Clicker, what do u mean DOS, what util is that? i can use debug in DOS? What about linux too, iah ve both though :).

i also emailed gateway(problem platform) for there BIOS info so maybe they can help, too.

does anyone know how to make sure a20 is set and make sure it does reset the pc?
----
there are 18 sectors per head not track and 2 heads per track total and 80 cylinders?(tracks)
(track is a cylinder(disk platter)) right?
Floppy setup: (C/H/S) 80C, 2H/C, 18S/H, 512b/S
