Create a bootable floppy disk. Use Nero to create a bootable CD
Select the floppy as the source Burn the CD Or Create a bootable floppy disk. Use WinImage (or similar) to make an image of the floppy as an *.img file Save this file to disk Use Nero to create a bootable CD Select the image file as the source Burn the CD If you add cd-rom drivers to the floppy/or image, you can then access the rest of the CD If you use WinImage, you can expand the size of the saved image to 2.88MB floppy, you can then add every driver you want to the boot image. If you do this you must check expert functions in Nero and select 2.88 as the bootable image (I use this version and it works every time) Cheers Bob Dyster -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 09 October 2007 11:16 To: freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Freedos-user] Running FreeDOS directly from CD-ROM withoutinstalling on HD? Hello, I seem to have a problem running FreeDOS directly from the CD-ROM without installing it on the HD. There is what I do: 1) Boot from the FreeDOS boot CD I have previously burned. 2) Choose "Install to HD using FreeDOS setup". 3) Choose language. 4) Choose "Run FreeDOS from CD-ROM". - OOPS! This option shows up only when there is no partition on the HD. If there is one, this option doesn't show up and an option to format HD shows instead. But I don't want to format the HD, I'd just like to run FreeDOS from the CD. What am I to do to make FreeDOS show me "Run FreeDOS from CD-ROM" option in the menu...? Thanks a lot someone.
