Howdy,
Not sure this is the ideal location for this thread, but here goes: I have an IBM Intellistation Z Pro model 6221 I am using as a Media Center. Something got fairly seriously hosed up along the way and now it will only boot to a BIOS flash screen despite not having a floppy in the a:/ drive, That in itself is a puzzlement, but what is TRULY puzzling is that the flash image file I retrieved from IBM's FTP site is greater than 1.44Mb in size. Just how in the devil am I expect to load an .IMG file onto a 1.44Mb floppy when the .IMG file is greater than the size of the media? Is there some tool that I am not aware of that will let me into the .IMG file to possibly edit its size down to less than 1.44Mb in size so that it CAN be copied onto a floppy? At this point any advice would be welcome!
