Martin,
  I just created a floppy disk for NOD32 for DOS the other day. The problem
was that the total size of the files would be over 1.5 Mb with a floppy
being 1.44 Mb. I used a program called MaxFormat
(http://www.alkonost.com/maxformat/) to format my floppy to a larger format
which now contains the all the NOD32 for DOS files and the required system
files.

Regards,
Bill
