Yep ..
sort of figured it out myself ..
🤣
I assumed I could write a floppy image through the Gotek..and as has been pointed out ..
Not possible ..at least not with usb_floppy_emulator_1.40i
The PC I was using doesn't even have USB ports ..so nipped over to my win7 PC ... installed the software on that ..
Formatted the stick ..and put a win98se boot floppy image on OO..
back downstairs with the stick ..and the PC with the Gotek ..booted from it no problem.
thanks guys ..
but I guess everyone has to start somewhere with something new..
(insert red face here ..🤣)
..that said if it is possible to write floppy images through the Gotek with different software ..that would be very useful in this case.

- You can copy all your images one by one: After formatting your flash drive (i.e. by pressing two buttons together while powering up your Gotek), chose the appropriate "slot" on the Gotek (i.e. 000, 001, 002, 003,......999) and use a diskcopy sofware of your own choise to transfer the image files into your flash drive. Very tiresome and loooong process.
- This floppy emulator sofware that you are trying to use is ok for writing images to your Gotek formatted USB flash drive. It is ok for only a 100 images though.
- Use the instructions and batch files there: https://github.com/xtcrefugee/gotek-usb-batch-files
- Use the procedure here to change your Gotek's firmware with "flashfloppy" (and your 7-segment Gotek display with an OLED display while you are at it), and just copy all the images into a common normal format USB flash drive: https://github.com/keirf/FlashFloppy
