(sorry my english, i'm Brazilian) Well, in my first instalation of BeOS in my computer i had the same problem because my computer was running Windows ME and it does not accept real DOS. Well, so do this: 1)Go to the BeOS folder, in C:\BeOS or were you have installed or were is image.be; 2)There you must see other archives, between they must have the discrete CreateBootFloppy. 3)Take a floppy and double click on CreateBootFloppy. 4)Be Happy! Well, i hope i have help you. if wasn't enough, try again replying this message. So long!

I think that bootable be CD at bebits might have an image of the floppy. I think it should work to boot into the PE. Use makebootfloppy as soon as you can if you have an upgraded to R5.03 system as the boot floppy is I think for R5.00
Otherwise you will need to search the web for loadbeos.com and zbeos. Use a bootable to dos disk dos\win3-me and put loadbeos.com and zbeos in path and run loadbeos.com . It will kick out command.com and load zbeos which is the command processor for beos.
