I still use 3.5" 1.44 MB floppy diskettes and I make them bootable like so:

$ dd if="VeraCrypt Rescue Disk.iso" of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 skip=104 count=184

I'm happy this actually works on a physical floppy and I hope it won't change.

The problem: I did try booting such a floppy image with syslinux and though it
displayed the VeraCrypt menu and allowed me input the password, it never
accepted that which I was sure was the correct password.

Does the VeraCrypt Rescue Disk use hardcoded values for where it's loaded into
memory or where it resides on the boot media such that a bootloader can
interfere with its correct functioning?

Also version 1.25.9 works perfectly on Windows XP SP2 x64 Edition!

Thanks for the continued development and backwards compatibility!
