I am trying to flash my ms25 and I can get my computer to startup in the command prompt. The problem may be with extreme bootmaker because when I try to format and make bootable my flash drive it tells me that the drive is not pully closed but then after I click cancel it tell me all done happy flashing... Can someone please help me out?

What method are you using? CD,USB, or floppy. Try a different one than the one you are using. Usually the order people like to go is USB, CD, Floppy

What name brand flash drive are you using? What size is the drive?

Floppy flash method next option I suggest
people say the floppy route is dangerous but if floppy drive is clean and you have a new floppy and not the one sitting in the sun since last time used then your Floppy shouldnt fail.

Floppy hint/ The floppy wire shouldnt be using the same power wire as the HD drives but it can share off off the dvd drive wire.

meaning that in most machines people have to wires with 2 connections each to 2 devices(total 4 connections). One has a exception to plug in to the floppy drive as well. Dont have that wire plugged into the Prim drive and floppy but have it plugged into the dvd drive and floppy instead less chance those 2 devices will ever be used at the same time.

I would never take the risk with a floppy drive in the past I have used brand new top brand disks that have failed but it's up to you.
