Thanks George or Mary
      I tried what you recomended and finally got to this point >volume in
drive c is MS-RAMDRIVE <  directory of C:\
                      File not found
                         !,,837,568 bytes free.
 Then I Tried C:\.Format  got required parameter missing.   But the good
news,I think is that now my boot disk works. This has become a pet project so
I'll keep pluggin away.    Thanks Again John Stoker
