I am trying to make a root disk for slackware using my Windows computer. It only took a few trys to get a boot disk but I cant seem to get a root disk no matter what I try. I am using rawrite and get the error "Bad sector detected Sector: 1" every single time. I've gone through a 20 pack of brand new floppy disks, Ive tried downloading the color.gz file from different servers, using different versions of rawrite (1.2 & 1.3) Ive even tried it a couple of time on a different machine.
Could any tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Cleaned the drive ?

no but I tried using another drive (on a different machine) and no luck.

This may sound silly but have you tried doing it to the same disk twice (one of the failed ones)?
Are you doing this from a DOS boot - or from a windows DOS box?
Can you point me at the color.gz version you're using? (slackware version ?)

Apologies if you've already checked ... but are the disks formatted? I know from personal experience how easy it is to overlook the obvious (8-)).

Hope this helps.
