Open your preferred CD Burning application...I use Nero

In the CD burning application go to the File Menu and select Open

Open free Microsoft Windows ISO image.

Navigate to your Desktop and select the ISO image you downloaded and press Open

Open free Microsoft Windows ISO image

After pressing Open, in Nero you are immediately presented with the Burn dialogue box. Your application may differ slightly. At this point all you have to do is burn the CD, no further configuration is required.

Burn bootable CD image

Your bootable CD is now created.Turn on the computer you want booted and insert the CD into the CD-ROM drive. If the computer does not boot from the CD, restart and check your BIOS settings to ensure that the CD-ROM drive is listed before the hard disk in the boot order. For assistance with this, see the documentation from your computer manufacturer.

Re: How to create our bootable CD

I've tried and created a disk via the way you showed us above.
It does working for booting into DOS mode when I restarted, but it can't access into harddrive (c: or d:)
Why?

Re: How to create our bootable CD

Probably because your C: drive is partitioned as FAT32, and you are using a version of DOS prior to 7.0, or your C: drive is partitioned as NTFS, and you are using any version of DOS. It can't read the drive, because it doesn't recognize the format.

thanks

Re: How to create our bootable CD

Chances are that your normal operating system is Windows XP or better. Most of the time XP and higher formats your hard drive for the NTFS file system. NTFS is not supported in most versions of DOS. You would need to find a dos driver (or TSR) that will allow you to access NTFS drives.

Mounting vs. Burnins

is it possible to mount it onto a virtual drive rather than burning it to a disk? mounting has worked for me in almost every other occasion, but i've never messed with OS emulation before

Re: Mounting vs. Burnins

It is possible to mount the iso onto a virtual drive rather than burn the iso to a disk. You did not specify what virtual drive. So, I am going to assume you are running something like Parallels on a Mac and created a virtual drive for Window98.

In Parallels I am using version 4 and beta version 5 so I will describe the process with version 4.
Open Parallels.
Select the Windows98 virtual machine (assume you have already set this up)
Click the configure icon
In the configure menu select Option-boot order. Move the CD ROM drive to the top of the list using the arrow to the right side.
Then in the configure menu select Hardware-CD/DVD ROM. Make sure the boxes are checked for Enabled and Connected. Next are the icons for Real Device and Image File. Select Image File icon. Next for File click the Choose button and navigate to the location of the iso image file you have downloaded. Select it such as Windows98SE_bootdisk.iso. Interface should already be selected and will likely be IDE. Location should already be selected and will likely be IDE 0:1.

Very useful website! Thank you for the big help!

Re: How to create our bootable CD

I have a laptop which used to have Linux. After using the manufacturer's recovery disks to restore Windows XP, the machine will not boot. It talks about GRUB and Error 17.

Apparently this GRUB is a pest that needs to be killed with fdisk /mbr. But the recovery disk version of DOS does not contain FDISK or FORMAT or CHKDISK. So I made a CD from this site, with DOS 6.22. I set the computer to boot from the CD. This has no effect, still the machine talks GRUB.

So I physically removed the hard disk and booted with the CD. The computer does not boot from it. The computer knows it has a CD drive, but claims that the disk is not bootable.

Any solution?

Re: How to create our bootable CD

GRUB is the Linux boot system.
It can be removed with a program called
Auto Super Grub. You will have to Google to find it.

When you format a disk that has had Linux on it, that
GRUB boot file stays on the drive and interferes with
Windows boot.

Good luck :o)
