Floppy - DMA & 64K

I'm trying to run Data Lifeguard and when it goes to create the floppy I get the error:

DMA crosses 64K boundary

This happens no matter what disk I use. Bad drive or is there something else I should look at?

This is on a win2k machine.

Thanks.

This is why I keep my old 486 laptop around - it has a NIC card and Win95. I use it mostly for doing just this - making bootdisks.

You would think they would come up with a solution to that.
