Thank you for trying make_fd.  It is very useful to 
hear that it works on your Windows XP system.

Do I understand correctly:  when you click on 
make_fd.bat with the mouse, it doesn't work?

But, when you type "make_fd" from the command-line,
it works?  BTW, how do you get to the command-line
in Windows XP?

Are you saying that it doesn't work when you reboot
in command-line mode?

Sorry about all these questions; but when I write
the instructions for Windows XP users, I want to
be sure I have the details correct.

True.  But, even though I am targetting BL2 at 486DX
and low-end Pentiums, I am happy for people with more
powerful computers to try it.  It's not a lot of work
for me to write some instructions for those people.  
And, if they like BasicLinux and want to try mounting 
their NTFS harddisk, they can get that module from 
Slackware 7.1 (in /modules/2.2.16/fs).
