Oops As I said, if you have Nero, burn a bootable CD but you MUST use the expert settings and select the 2.88 image, or it will not work

Hi Steve This is an installation .iso, just for installing onto a hard drive, I used an old HDD to install FreeDOS, then I could do anything with it. Try burning this----- http://www.toxlab.co.uk\files\FreeDOS1-288-R3.IMA As I said, if you have Nero, burn a bootable CD but you MUST use the expert settings and select the 2.988 image, or it will not work Drag your other files onto the CD as normal Let me know how you get on Cheers Bob -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 09 October 2007 13:17 To: freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Freedos-user] Running FreeDOS directly fromCD-ROMwithoutinstalling on HD? Hello Bob, Thanks for your response! To be exact, I have: 1) downloaded "fdbasecd.iso" 2) used MagicISO to add two files to its structure (it is the bios flash utility and new bios) 3) saved the "fdbasecd.iso" and burned it without any problems. What I don't understand is why FreeDOS offers me the "Run FreeDOS from CD-ROM" option only when there is no partition on the HD? Because I have installed Windows on my PC and so I cannot get rid of all partitions but still I would like to boot from the FreeDOS CD only and run the bios flash utility? Is it possible to accomplish this even on a PC with the system already installed...?
