OK I am officially RETARDED!

How in the hell do you get Memtest86+ to work? I have tried to DL it to a floppy. Am I supposed to use the binary the iso or what? Everytime, i get something that doesnt let me run it. Crap I am frustrated. And I feel stupid because it looks so simple in the instructions!

Forget the floppy disk, I've only gotten that to work once. Just burn the files to a bootable CD and then set the boot order in the BIOS to boot from the CD drive and you should be good to go

LOL...the floppy is extremely easy to run......format a floppy, then download and follow the instructions:

Run from floppydisk

Memtest86+ is directly executable by any modern x86 compatible machine, by
writing the bootable binary to a floppy disk one can boot from the disk to
run memtest.

Simply download the appropriate package, the Pre-Compiled Bootable Binary
(.gz) package for Linux users and the Pre-Compiled package for Floppy (DOS
- Win) for Windows users.

For Windows, unzip the package into a directory like C:\memtest, insert a
blank floppy into your a: disk drive and run the install.bat file. As the
install prompts you, to use memtest directly, leave the disk in the drive
and reboot your machine.

Correct. Just make sure you burn the files to the CD as an .iso image.
