1.	Solve : Help with a boot-discs image?
Answer» Hi folks, im new here I just downloaded a 6.22 FLOPPY image and booted it on an virtual PC Just one thing: How do i install it to the A:\ drive so it permanently boots MsDos on the Virtual Pc and directly write the files to A:\ so i can release the image and put some other things on wihout making MESS? anyway, cool operating system Another Question: Does there exist some kind of program that converts zip's to .img files?could be wrong, but i doubt msdos 6.22 would fit on a a:\drive diskette Quote from: diablo416 on November 27, 2008, 10:03:37 AM could be wrong, but i doubt msdos 6.22 would fit on a a:\drive diskette MSDOS 6.22 came on a set of install FLOPPIES but (of course!) it is also possible to MAKE an MS-DOS boot floppy, usually containing config.sys, autoexec.bat, command.com, io.sys, msdos.sys, POSSIBLY mscdex.exe as well. On40, if you mean, how do I transform a floppy image into a real floppy disk. the answer is with software. The same software that will make img files from your (extracted) zips. http://www.google.co.uk/search?num=100&hl=en&safe=off&q=floppy+image+writer&btnG=Search&meta=&aq=5&oq=floppy+imageOh sorry guys. I have been away from a looooonnnggg time. Actually i forgot everything about you. What i means is: How do you properly install Dos? I really want the whole DOS over on the root drive and away from the floppy.You create a virtual disk and then you create a partition with fdisk, format it and transfer the system files on to it.
