Hi, I am a PC104 newbie. I am trying to boot a PC104 using a Compactflash flash memory card. To do so, I first copied system files onto it (from a Windows98 machine). I then used the flash card to boot the PC104, but encountered "Disk I/O error". Could someone let me know what could be wrong? Thanks, Niranjan

I assume you're trying to boot win98 dos.
You need a proper boot sector on the Compactflash card and you may need the files in a certain order.
Copying the files does not write the boot sector, and it may not put the files in the right order.
Try formatting with "copy system files"
