...initrd=/bootdisk/image.img floppy (lines in isolinux.cfg file) Sometimes I pass memdisk the c/h/s parameters, depending on the image size. I have learned from this mailing list how to create different, non-standard sized images. Everything works fine while I use the floppy images created with rawwrite or dd directly off a floppy, and then eventually resized with mkdosfs. But I've come to the point where I can find no solution. To be specific, I would like to use windows xp pe bootable cd like an image. Anyway, it doesn't neccessarily have to be winxp pe, it could, for example, be any...

I sometimes use "rawwrite dd for windows version 0.3" by John Newbigin as well as "mirkes.de Tiny Hexer 1.8.1.6 small edition" by Markus Stephany. Using "dd --list" is educational in the former. Using "File > Disk > Open drive..." is educational in the latter. - Shao
