OT: bootable CD from three Dos floppies?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi.

As per the title, I'm trying to "back-up" my old DOS 6 onto a bootable

CD. I had a try and managed to get the CD to boot, but after a short

while it asks for disk 2 (ie. installation stops).

Anyone got any ideas?

 

Cheers,

Trin

You obviously did not back up all the files that are required

for a successful DOS boot. Why don't you just download

one from http://www.bootdisk.com? Or else post your question

in a DOS/Win9x newsgroup?

Are you trying to create bootable CD's from installation floppies?

 

If so, this will do it, although you may have to create a separate CD

for each floppy.
