Does it show bad sectors? A disk with bad sectors cannot take an image file.

If you get an error halfway through writing the disk image with rawrite, then format the disk you are trying to write to and the run CHKDSK on it. Use rawrite or rawrite32 to write the image to the disk.

HOWEVER when you write the image to the disk, >with the correct disk image writing software<<, it will overwrite the old format and use the full 1.44mb If you format a disk then some of that disk space will be used for the format layout. Much like putting furniture in a room means you can't use all of the carpet. Formatting the disk puts some system data on it, reducing the capacity. The only things that can make it read smaller than that are putting data on the disk, or there being bad sectors on the disk. You cannot change the size of a disk between 1.38mb and 1.44mb. I understand the frustration, though, so I'm willing to let it go this time. First: Calm down - We are not responsible for your predicament.
