You might want to try to do a virus scan on your system.
There have been some that behaved this way.
Otherwise, to write the img file to your floppy, do
rawrite boot.img
from dos (win95/98)

Subject: [newbie] boot disk
i'm tryin gto install linux for teh first time and i have the image-ISO
file stored on a CD-R that i burned. i tried to download the boot.img
file to stick on a floppy disk, but the image file is 1.4MB and every
disk that i have formatted and tried comes to 1.38MB--there is some
whacked file that is taking up the space, but i can't delete it. i have
tried 10 disks.. does anyone know how i can circumvent this problem. in
addition, once/if i get the boot.img file, what do i do next?
thanks for the help
