I believe this is a problem with lots of 720KB floppies being written in
1.44MB drives. You'll have to format the disk as a 720KB disk, THEN
write the image to it, and even then it has a chance of not working. I
assume that you are using a 1.44MB disk; make sure it's formatted as a
720KB disk, not a 1.44MB disk.
