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
