Looks like it is booting OK, creating C: (ramdisk) and
putting part1 in C:.  It then should copy part2 from the
floppy and combine it with part1.  That appears to be where 
your problem occurs.  I suggest you rename autoexec.bat on 
the floppy and do each step by hand.

That will not work.

That is correct.

It's that the one with the reset problem?  There's no
point testing it on a computer with a known hardward 
problem.
