Michael,

Perhaps you should try pulling down:

http://www.chat.net/~jeske/VSTa/Software/vstaflop.zip
http://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/install/rawwrite/rawrite2.exe

1) Just unzip the first one, what you'll get out is a disk image. Use
rawrite2 to put the disk image onto a floppy.

2) boot the floppy

It should bring up vsta running completely off the floppy. I believe I
included the wd server on that disk, so you should then be able to
start wd against your hard drive manually and see what it does.
