Boot CD

[Rudolf Ladyzhenskii]

Hi, all

Anyone knows of an easy way to create a bootable CD for MS-DOS?
I want to create a disk with diagnostic applications and utilities. All
applications are running from MS-DOS.

Thanks,
Rudolf

Try this, Rudolf,

http://www.bootdisk.com/nero.htm

And get the required boot disks themselves from

http://www.bootdisk.com/bootdisk.htm

Does it _have_ to be DOS?

Have a look at http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/ for info on building a Barts
Pre-Installation Environment CD.

This will allow you to run many Windows based diagnostics, (Norton,
Fix-It, ERD, etc), network access, read/write access to NTFS/FAT volumes
and more.

Lot's of plugins for various free/commercial programs can be found here:

http://www.bootcd.us/

As well as just search the net for 'BartsPE' or 'BartPE', (people forget
the 's').

Otherwise just check out http://www.nu2.nu/, Bart is a champion at
bootable CDs, (he gave up creating bootable DOS diagnostic CDs after
discovering the Pre-installation Environment).

And http://www.bootcd.us/ has more info on a Emergency boot CD.

Look out for something called Hiren's boot CD. It is the dogs bollox
it has masses of utilities, everything you could wish for, including
DOS.
It's all p1rated software of course, but if you can live with that
then you're laughing.

You can't actually download it from that site, but at the bottom of
the page is a link which will search google for it.
I often see it in binary news groups and bit torrent sites.

It's dead easy to use, when you boot up on it it has a menu and you
just select what you need.

get your dos start up floppy disk
and make shore you have fdisk and format etc
on it.
if not add them with nero.
put your floppy in drive A:, then run nero version 6
or 6 ultra, click on data icon in the menu, goto the
boot pulldown and click inable expert setings, then
goto pulldown ISO, open character set choose DOS
then hit nero express button, goto data pick bootable
disk, then next, check your read disk is a:drive, click
next then burn cd. when it ses add files add your fdisk etc.

add the extra files that run on ms-dos to
a temp directory and use it to add your files
to the boot cd.
keep the floppy disk in drive A: when burning, your
boot image comes from it.
