Hi I asked if you could navigate up the screen before you inserted the root disk. I asked this just to be sure that it is the root disk that is causing the problem. I forgot to ask whether your using rawwrite under windows with a screen reader. If so, are you using the DOS or Windows version of rawwrite?
