Which file should I download?

Good question!

We offer two types of boot disk images, depending on your needs. The contents of these disks are identical, so you will only need one or the other.


Automatic Disk Image
These files should be used when you just need to create a bootable floppy disk as fast as possible. You simply download the file you need, and double-click on the .exe file. You will have a boot disk in no time!


Diskette Images
These files are identical to the Automatic Disk Image, but they are cross-platform. Basically this means you can use these Diskette Images on Windows, Linux, OS X, BSD, etc.

These Diskette Images are perfect for Virtual computing using products such as VMware Player, VMware Server, VMware ESX, and Microsoft Virtual Server.

You should use the Diskette Images for a Virtual Machine.

How do I use these Automatic Disk Images?

It's easy! To use these images, download the .exe file to your PC
(don't worry it's virus free - we've checked them). Once the file has
been downloaded, simply double-click on the downloaded file.
Insert a floppy disk into your PC and follow the on screen instructions.

Re: Which file should I download?

Chappy,

In your answer to the above captioned subject, you reference the need for a "RAW disk image" to use in the virtuailzation systems (I'm interested in Parallels Desktop for Mac). What is a RAW disk image, and where might I find one for MS-DOS?

I'm impressed by your generosity, thank you.

Take a look here[1]: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/ht/restorehaldll.htm

I haven't tried the download so don't jump on me.

Try step 1 first. Borrow a Win CD if you haven't got one. Btw: it doesn't matter if you hit 'Y' or 'y', just don't answer 'N'=no to overwrite.

Re: Which file should I download?

i have a old laptop called time 2000 from taiwan, it has a phoenix bios. it says boot from usb device but it does not specify. i have a built in cd-rom drive in the computer the ribbon on it is damage so it does not work anymore. so i would like to boot from a external cd-rom drive or usb flash drive. i have tried ms-dos boot disk hp flash boot disk which is good in some reguards but i still have not gotten it to work. i also tried a windows 98 boot disk form Cypros or cypress corp . it works well but when it starts to look for the cdrom drive or flash it says drivers not found. what can i do. i dont know how to add the drivers to theis boot disk but i think it may be my answer. thanks great site. .......
