Topic: can't get it to run revisited

Here are my error details again...  I added them to my last post, but didn't get an answer, so figured that was the wrong approach.  Hope this helps.

     The information sector has the wrong signature (0). Select cancel for now, and send in a bug report. If you're desperate, it's probably safe to ignore.  
File system is reporting the free space as 0 clusters, not 1987686 clusters.  
The file system is bigger than its volume!

Re: can't get it to run revisited

It wasn't any wrong approach. This is better of course, but the previous post was readable too.
Just, now the subject covers 3 topics, that make it not easy to follow.

I think you have to follow the second topic, where is found most of the info.
