The self-running files I have gotten from the various download places on the net all seem to be the same, and they all get the errors mentioned.

There is no need for me to spend any money -> it's someone else's computer I'm only doing this as a favor to a stranger who bought one of my old PC's I am tempted to believe it has something to do with how the floppy drive is recognized by wine, but I don't know what. exe and when it runs (via wine) it asks for a floppy in the drive, but when it goes to access it (immediately) it says 'The current image format is not supported by the disk drive'. The problem is that it is a self-extracting. It's one of the many places that I have found the same exact win98 boot disk image. No, I'm not going to PURCHASE anything for something I SOLD to someone else - I'm just trying to help them out, they are not a friend or anything, just someone who bought one of my old computers. So, does any one know of a way I can extract one of these images and then burn it to diskette in Ubuntu? I can only assume the extra 105520 bytes are the actual program that burns the image. I've tried this on many of the Win98SE boot disk images I have found on the net with the same result. Warning : 105520 extra bytes at beginning or within zipfileįile #1: bad zipfile offset (local header sig): 211040Īnd of course it doesn't extract. IMA file, but when I try to extract it I get: When I look in archive manager I see the. When I try to open them by default (wine) it comes up with an error saying that the drive doesn't support the current format. exe self-extracting files which load an image to the diskette for Win98SE. I have an old Win98SE cd here I offered to them, but I know it needs a boot diskette which I no longer have. The person who bought it called today and doesn't 'get' it. I sold one of my old computers yesterday - with Linux installed of course. I hate to ask this, but please bear with me.
