can any body tell me why this is happening and how to fix it
I have formatted my flash drive in FAT32
if I try to run as administrator it wants to do the MBR on C:
I am running Windows 7
hmmm... Windows 7 eh? Finally the ability to send feedback from the titlebar of a command prompt window! what will m$ think up next :) It does take some guts to run an os that m$ actually acknowledges is in beta.
Who knows why Win7 stumbles over a simple bat file? Probably some expanded form of 'user access control' or some garbage.
The best advice I could give you would be to open up the bat file in notepad and examine the line that runs syslinux, then navigate to your flash drive from a command prompt and try typing the command in manually. It goes something like this: syslinux -ma J: (Note: Replace the J with the letter of your USB drive)
I hope some of this is helpful (besides the obligatory windows bashing). Here's hoping that Win7 is as successful as vista was (a repeat of the Win ME fiascal?), maybe next year we will see Win8!

or you could boot slax from a cd and run bootinst.sh
