Guest Trinny Posted September 15, 2007 Posted September 15, 2007 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

Why don't you just download one from http://www.bootdisk.com? Or else post your question in a DOS/Win9x newsgroup?

If so, this will do it, although you may have to create a separate CD for each floppy. MagicISO http://www.magiciso.com/FAQ/FAQ0006.htm
