Laptop w/ USB Floppy drive

[Michael Fernholz]

PARTED:

I believe the problem is the fact that I'm using a laptop with a usb 
Floppy drive.

What my problem is...

I created the partedboot.img floppy

How do I create the partedroot.img floppy...when I try to download it, I 
can never seem to find the img file.  Do I need to create it myself. If 
so, How?

Next...

One I boot the floppy, it runs fine until it asked to insert the disk 
with the root on it.  I don't know if I have the right disk made, but 
when I insert the one I have (disk #2) and hit 'Enter', the floppy drive 
doesn't boot.  This is where I think that the USB floppy drive isn't 
responding to the boot system.

Summary:

Could you please tell me first, how to create the partedroot.img (not 
boot) file.

Second...could you please tell me if the USB floppy disk drive is a problem.

Thanks,
Mike
