CD-R? Only if you have no floppy drive. Memtest itself is only some 80 kB. I don't know how large a bootable image with memtest is, but it certainly fits onto a floppy. And booting from a floppy even works on stone-age BIOS machines. Cheers, Helmut. +----------------+ | Helmut Walle | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | +----------------+
