A bootable disk needs to have a particular file in the correct place. Depending on what image file you tried to use, that was probably there. This probably means the Sam was unable to read the disk formatted on your PC. This could be due to any number of reasons, but I've found track skewing to be a problem in the past. I've been able to make disks my Sam could read, or disks that SimCoupe could read, but rarely that both could read. I think the easiest solution at this stage is to send a bootable disk by proper mail. >Can any one send me 1 or 2 sam disks ? to Portugal ? Yes, but only if you tell someone your address :) Sending to Portugal isn't a problem - we can send things from the uk to anywhere in the EU for a first class stamp, am I right?
