Dunno, but I ususally rename the rom file to something much smaller, like 9800xt.bin for instance, before flashing.

Sounds like the rom file is no good. I've had that error before. You'll need to find another rom file.

when all else fails (if you have the guts to flash from within windows) use winflash.

If you were in DOS then the file name was something like "sapphire~1.bin". DOS cannot handle long file names. That's why you should rename it in windows before you reboot onto the floppy. also, less chance of a typing error.
