About AllBootDisks ISO CD Images
These ISO CD-ROM images have been created to allow you to boot your computer from a CD for the purpose of repairing various issues.
The CD images are an exact copy of the boot diskette images. There is no advantage to using these ISO images over a diskette image. Some newer computers do not have a floppy drive installed, so these images allow for compatibility of newer machines.
These ISO images DO NOT contain any Microsoft operating system. You can not use these images to install Windows; they are for repair purposes only.
There are no ISOs for Windows NT, 2000, XP or Vista. If you need to boot from a CD to repair your Windows NT, 2000, XP or Vista computer, please use the original Windows installation CD, which is bootable.
To use this file, download it to your Desktop. Use a CD-burning program (Nero, Easy Media Creator) to burn this CD Image to a CD-R/CD-RW. Once the image has finished burning, 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: About AllBootDisks ISO Images
I recently downloaded and used the ISO file "WIN98SE.ISO". It worked great and let me repair a hard disk problem on my computer which does not have a floppy drive. This was a few months ago. Recently I returned to Allbootdisks.com to see if this file was still available for a friend. I had the browser screen windowed. When the window is small the text on the right of the window does not show up. I thought that this site for Allbootdisks.com was broken. I then did a search using google for the file WIN98SE.ISO. I found 1000's of hits but they all referenced what appeared to be a 500 megabyte or so image of the Windows 98 SE operating system which is illegal.So it appears that there are two versions of the file WIN98SE.ISO on the internet. Is it possible for you to fix this file name issue so that a search for this file will not mistakenly reference the illegal copy?
Also perhaps the web site could do someething about the lost text when the browser is windowed. Thank you.
Re: About AllBootDisks ISO Images
Hi,
Thanks for the comments and feedback. I agree that the names for these bootable ISO images should be modified so they do not get confused with a full version of these operating systems. I'll start working on that.
As for the browser issues you are experiencing - we recently updated the site and are still working out some final browser display issues. These usually happen with older versions of Internet Explorer.

Great job ... I recovered MBR of my notebook w/out diskete drive.... many tanks
Re: About AllBootDisks disc images
You are a lifesaver ... ALL I needed was one stupid file (format.com) in the right "flavor" and of course I couldn't locate any of my Windows 98SE CDs or floppy boot discs. From your site I was able to get the one file I needed without a huge download!
BTW, I have used your CDs multiple times in past years as well. As always, they work just fine.
Thanks again for all your hard work.

Re: About AllBootDisks ISO CD Images
1) When I posted a comment to the How to burn a boot CD page it did not show up.
2) What version of Nero is in that picture on that page? I have v5 and I'm forced to finalize the CD.
3) How can I burn an ISO plus files to CD? Multisession with some version of Nero?
4) How can I access exe files to run on C:\ after booting with a DOS 6.22 boot CD or 98/ME.
Great site, thanks
Re: About AllBootDisks ISO CD Images
1) We use PHP page caching on this site so when you post a comment it will not show on the page immediately. The cache is purged every 30 minutes, at which time the new comments will appear.
This comment was flagged as potential spam, and was routed to an approval queue, that's why it didn't show up until now.
2) These screenshots are taken from Nero Burning ROM 6.6.
3) I'm not sure. A multisession CD allows you to re-burn a CD to utilize any available free space on the disc. any previous burns would become unavailable.
4) Assuming C:\ is formatted as either FAT16 or FAT32, you can simply cd to C:. If C: was formatted using NTFS (default for Windows 2000, Windows XP and Vista) these disks will not be able to recognize the hard drive and it will not show.

Re: About AllBootDisks ISO CD Images
I use Image Burn, free software and can read/write and build custom ISO image files. The easiest and most reliable software I have found to date..

Re: About AllBootDisks ISO CD Images
I had searched all morning and finally found your site.....I had done a BIOS upgrade and the computer had locked up in the middle of the upgrade. As you can imagine, I thought I had a 20lb paper weight. No Floppy drive, and no way that I could see to fix my problem. I had tried several sites that explained how to make a bootable CD, 7 burns (maybe I should say coasters) and nothing worked until I arrived here. Your ISO files saved the day and I am typing this on my fixed PC. Thank you for a very valuable service!!
Re: About AllBootDisks ISO CD Images
your win98 withno ram drive gold and SE versions may be wrong. The file dates for SE say 1998 and for the gold version 1999
The basic with ram drive cd's are ok
Re: About AllBootDisks ISO CD Images
Excellent and useful website. I wanted to install an MS-Dos 5.0 Upgrade version on a virtual server and i had no way to boot from a compatible diskette. So i found this website, which is magnificent, downloaded the appropriated boot disk and solve me the problem. Thanks a lot and keep it for a looooooong time!
Re: About AllBootDisks ISO CD Images
Just to make sure before things go wrong:
Please beware when deciding to use this bootdisk: it contains the "old" version of fdisk which will damage harddrives larger than 64GB when used to partition etc your harddrive.
Note to the maintainer of this website: please read up on this site
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/263044
and include the updated version in the iso file (and probably in the non-iso files as well) in order to avoid major problems for some users.
Apart from that, i would like to take the opportunity to thank you for the excellent service you provide !
Kind regards
Re: About AllBootDisks ISO CD Images
Thanks for the kb article - I did not know about that. I'll take a look and get these images updated soon.

Re: About AllBootDisks ISO CD Images
Hi, I have one question here.
I have been doing lots of searchings on how a XP bootable cd works, however, I only managed to find out if we are to make a XP bootable cd ourselves, the system will first load the command prompt, and we have to initiate the XP setup process manually by running x:\i386\winnt.exe.
Is there a way to make a XP bootable cd to load directly into the setup process without entering into the command prompt?
Thank you.
DOS Boot Disk with LAN support
Great. Very useful.
I need to boot a notebook without windows that has a damage cdrom, and copy files from another computer in a lan. There is a DOS boot disk to do this? Or only using linux?
Thank´s!!
Erick
Re: DOS Boot Disk with LAN support - use Knoppix!
Thanks!
I would honestly use Knoppix. It is a Linux bootable CD that has a great GUI interface - so you don't really need to know any command line Linux. It should mount all of your Windows drives, and provide you with a network interface to send these files across the network.
You can find a list of download mirrors at: http://www.knopper.net/knoppix-mirrors/index-en.html
Good luck!

Re: About AllBootDisks ISO CD Images
Chappy,
Please contact myself directly if you would like available
* IBM DOS 2.0
* IBM DOS 3.1
* MSDOS 3.2
ISO Bootable Image files as well for this Website.
Also, don't forget about "Intersvr & Interlnk" functionality too. On really hard pressed cases that can help when Laplink is not available. I have had to use it on several instances & it has always produced the desired effect. Obviously though I need an appropriate Bootable disk with those tools loaded to allow me to work with such dinosaurs & of course an appropriate “Laplink” type cable.
Re: About AllBootDisks ISO CD Images
Will your bootable disks work for the following problem?
I recently ran 'disk sanitizer' form system bios---BIG MISTAKE. Prior to this, my laptop worked fine--figured I was doing some good by "sanitizing" the hard drive.
Now copmputer will not boot from any of my OEM cd's. I have tried numerous sites to try and find cd that could hopefully fix the problem. The error message states corrupt sys_disk.
Can any of your software assist me in returning computer to working state?
Are iso files editable?
I recently d/l'ed the Win98 SE iso to help make a boot disk for norton ghost. I opened the iso in UltraISO and added ghost then burned it, but when it's done booting the ghost.exe file isn't there. If you put the CD in a working Windows machine it shows up in explorer. Any ideas?
Re: Are iso files editable?
I'M having the same problem, I open the win98 iso in MagicISO, add a file, save and burn...but the files never show up. Am I doing something wrong here? Thanks
Re: About AllBootDisks ISO CD Images
Hello AllBootDisks, You saved lot of my time. One of my friends asked me to fix his Windows ME system. I tried to boot with a few other solutions given in other websites but none worked. Then I came across your website through a google search. I used your ISO CD image to boot the system and reinstalled Windows ME. Everything is fine now.
Your website gives all the information in simple and easy steps required for the boot disks, which I have never seen in any other website.
I remember an advertisement on TV "DOES EXACTLY WHAT IT SAYS ON THE TIN".
KUDOS TO YOU....

Re: About AllBootDisks ISO CD Images
Great site.
I have a few questions
The msdos 6.22 cd boot disc does that automatically run smartdriv?

FYI I am creating a boot disc i need mouse.exe smartdrv and ghost.exe to be loaded and run
is there anyway I can modify the boot disc to automaitcally load these programs?
Re: About AllBootDisks ISO CD Images
I was cleaning off old programs from an old Toshiba Satellite ( XP Home). I guess I over cleaned because now it will not book. A winlogon.exe error comes up saying it cannot inf COMCTL32.dll then a next error says it is missing MSGINA.dll. Then it forces a restart and cycles through the same errors. I have tried to book in every safe mode possible but same thing. I don't know what to do!
Re: About AllBootDisks ISO CD Images
This site may just be the Holy Grail I've been looking for. Or Perhaps not. I've been trying to recapture my youth, downloading old abandonware games (www.the-underdogs.info), many of which will not run in windows at all, and dosbox doesn't seem to work either. Back in the good old days of Windows98 I could simply boot to a dos command prompt and all was well. Now I'm afflicted with XP, it all seems a bit more complicated. I've downloaded your dos6.22 boot disk (which came as an archived file not a .iso - does that matter?) and burnt it to a cd, tried to boot from it (bios settings all in order ie cd drive boot priority above hd) and just ended up in XP as normal. Can you help a frustrated gamer? Thanks muchly! :)
Re: About AllBootDisks ISO CD Images
Maybe if you try going to command.com [Start>Run>Type command.com or just command], it might work, otherwise, you can use a boot disk, go into command, put the [video game and MS-DOS] files on a FAT[12, 16, 32] Drive. If that doesn't work, maybe you can consider getting a USB Floppy Drive [If you don't have one].
Re: About AllBootDisks ISO CD Images
great site, but the comment of using original disks with later micro-soft products is going to be difficult since most systems no longer have the original disk,,
Re: About AllBootDisks ISO CD Images
This is what I was searching for!
Great Site!
It would be nice to post some information about how to change the boot-images.
I burned the DOS6.22 on a CD which boots my computer, but the CD-ROM driver
will not recognize my drive.
When I saw the different cd.sys (1 to 4) I tried to change the entries in the config.sys,
but it's almost impossible to access and edit the boot image.
I tried 5 programs (Win-Iso, MagicIso, UltraIso, Iso commander and ImageBurn) that should
be able to change ISO images as well as boot images, but they aren't.
They will all extract the boot image to a *.wbt or *.bim file, but I couldn't find a way to handle these files.
What can I do?
Kind regards,
Jo
