every time that i restart the pc too boot beos with the floopy disk, i get an error "too many disk errors" i have created a lot of boot disks, but doesn´t boot.

please help me.

Misel,

Are you using BeOS Personal Edition or Professional?

Does BeOS boot okay when you boot from the hard disk instead of using a floppy? That is, does this happen only when you try to boot BeOS from a floppy? Can you boot BeOS from the hard disk without any problems?

If you're using Professional, how did you create your BFS partition? Is it a primary partition or a logical partition within an extended partition? Where is this partition on the drive?

Is the installation of BeOS you're trying to boot on an ATAPI or SCSI drive?

If SCSI, are you using a supported host adapter? (There are quite a few unsupported SCSI host adapters. To the best of my knowledge, *none* of the Ultra-160 host adapters are supported, which is a real shame.)

If ATAPI, how big is the drive (in terms of number of cylinders)?

Can you tell us something about your physical and logical hard disk configuration?
(Type of hard disk interface (ATAPI or SCSI)(ATAPI or SCSI), size of hard disk (how many cylinders), partition configuration, etc.)

Also, do you in fact have any issues with your hard disk? Are there any filesystem errors, corrupt partition tables, etc.? Weird disk configurations and drive overlays can certainly cause this type of problem.

Lets try to see if it will work in Dos or WIn9x

Make a dos copy.
Use "diskcopy" to make copy a DOS or win9x floppy from any dos type disk. Use dos window or command line.

Test disk for errors.
Use chkdisk to see if there are any bad sectors on the disk.

If errors then you may have a bad floppy drive or disks. Both go bad as well as cables that connect to the diskdrive as well as too long of cables.

i have BeOS personal edition, is there another way to boot to beos?, i have Windowz ME, and i see in another post that one guy has the same problem as me :((

i have a dmn compaq presario 5000, its a duron 800, 64 ram, nvidia geforceMX 32m, sound is compatible ;).

the other day i was alone on my room and "puff" beos has loaded, but was only one, havent loaded beos again since that time. :(

You could use rawrite 32 to make a floppy from the
bootfloppy image.
You could use a dos boot disk either v5 win95 or
win98 and get two files. One is loadbeos.com and
the other is zbeos. You will have to search the net
for the loadbeos and you should have loadbeos on
the beos subdirectory. With these two file copies
to a floppy or bootableCD you then run the loadbeos
program from the command prompt. You may need to
press the space bar to got to safe mode options to
choose the beos partition.
I guess you are using 1.44(2meg) floppies in known
good condition? Anyway you don't need the whole
disk for the dos floppy start.
