Partcopy, Divide error writing boot sector

Hi, everyone I have this little problem:

I have written a small boot loader form the first Broken Thorn tutorial and I can compile it with NASM into boot.bin, then I use Imdisk to make a virtual floppy drive. When I enter "partcopy boot.bin 0 200 -f0" to command prompt, I get "Divide error". Changing drivers "-f1" makes no difference, I have no clue how to fix it.

Running windows XP, but tired this on two computers same result, tried different simple boot loaders, made no difference so I'm stuck.

Been looking on Internet for two days any help would be great

Unrelated to your particular problem, but PARTCOPY also has problems with large file sizes. Since you're under Windows, you might want to consider RawWrite for Windows instead.
