Answer» is it possible to boot a dos cd and access files outside of img on the same cd? if not, how can i use my files when in dos boot cd mode? i hope you get this QUESTION...Quote is it possible to boot a dos cd and access files outside of img on the same cd? I've never done it with DOS with a CD, but I've done it zillions of times with a floppy. That is - boot from a floppy, and access and use files on the hard drive. I would expect to be able to get the same results, booting from either floppy or CD. It is possible, but not guaranteed. For example, the hard drive may be malfunctioning. Booting from floppy won't help that. Quote if not, how can i use my files when in dos boot cd mode? i hope you get this question... Not to complicate the issue, but I have booted from CD, with linux, and accessed and used the hard drive. We don't know what it is that you are trying to accomplish yet - beyond booting to DOS from CD. Maybe it would be better if you described whatever it is that you are working on, and what you want to do. I just want to run some dos games at prime, and the reason i cannot access the hard drive is because it isn't the correct file system.Quote I just want to run some dos games at prime, and the reason i cannot access the hard drive is because it isn't the correct file system. So your DOS CD boots fine? But after you boot, you cannot access files on your hard drive, and that is because DOS doesn't recognize whatever file system your hard drives uses? Is that it? What file system does your hard drive use? I don't know if what you want to do will be possible at all, but anyone reading along here will need this info to help you. When you boot to Dos, at the command line EXECUTE this command ver and post back here what it responds with. How would you auto boot a Batch file from a floppy please tell!! It would save me a lot of time been a sys-admin Thanks!!Quote How would you auto boot a Batch file from a floppy please tell!! It would save me a lot of time been a sys-admin 1.) Best to start a new thread, rather than RIDE on the bottom of an older ONE. That way your question gets more exposure and the attention it deserves, and you get a better chance of getting more help. 2.) Need you to re-phrase and perhaps explain what you mean. I think the answer will be to run your batch file from the last line in autoexec.bat - but again, am not sure now. Start a new thread, ask your question, and it might be best to describe an example of what you want to do. |
