similar to: Cannot Boot PC-Dos Image with memdisk

Memdisk 2.08 does not appear to be able to boot an XP DOS image (it starts to boot and then hangs). XP DOS appears to be borrowed from WinME (v4.90.3000). I was trying to make a multiple boot CD with Bart's method: http://www.nu2.nu/bootcd/#multimemdisk but substituting Brads TCP boot disk instead of Barts: http://members.iinet.net.au/~bdriver/bootdisk/index.htm Brad uses XPs DOS as it

Hello! I am already using isolinux & memdisk for making bootable cd-roms (with Bart's method - www.nu2.nu). My question is if memdisk can be used to boot a disk image, directly from hard disk - when in Dos mode. thank you, Adrian Tarog Scanare antivirus realizata de mailserver-ul Jolidon

Memdisk 2.08 cannot boot an XP boot floppy image (XP appears to use WinME boot files for its bootable floppy). For example: http://members.iinet.net.au/~bdriver/bootdisk/download.htm This disk will not boot with Memdisk (Memdisk starts to load the image and then hangs). I'm using Bart's tools to build a boot CD: http://www.nu2.nu/corpmodboot/ Which uses Isolinux and Memdisk.

Hi Peter, I'm using isolinux and memdisk to create a multiboot rescue cd for personal use as described on Bart's page (www.nu2.nu). One boot item is to boot DOS 7.1 from Win98SE with a lot of other staff for emergencies. This DOS bootimage puts all necessary stuff into it's own ramdisk (XMSDSK). Some progs on the ramdisk needs access to floppy drive A: and unfortunately I've no

Hello All, I am using NU2's BCD with the isolunix/memdisk add-on to create the cd. Floppy images work fine, however the bootsector (w2K et.al) doesn't. I get an NTLDR not found error. Not a problem, as the issue is that the bootsector needs to be in the root of the CD. Well if I do that then how do I spec that location properly in isolinux.cfg for the label tag? For example- this

Hi, I've coded loading NT cdrom bootsector into isolinux 1.68 myself (http://www.nu2.nu/bootcd/#multimemdisk) and I now see you have included it in isolinux 1.73 and higher. Great!!! I tried it using isolinux 1.74 and 1.75pre2, but I cannot get it to work. It says: -- Loading Invalid or corrupt kernel image. -- I use the file extension ".bin" as I see in the isolinux.asm source,

Hi, Quoting the memdisk.doc: Similarly, if you're booting DOS over the network using PXELINUX, you can use the "keeppxe" option and use the generic PXE (UNDI) NDIS network driver, which is part of the PROBOOT.EXE distribution from Intel: Does anyone know what this means? It sounds like a generic network driver for DOS exists. I have a copy of the PROBOOT.EXE, but I can't work

Dear Sir, I am trying to create a multiboot cd that will supposr the following: 1. Linux RedHat 7.2 2. Windows 2000 Professional 3. Windows 2000 Server 4. Windows 2000 Advanced Server I get it right, but to have the Linux image on the same cd and to boot from it is a problem. Here's what I did: First I created a bootable cd with the windows images and used the El-Torito standard based

Hi Mr Anvin, after downloading the Freedos bootable cd, which now uses your projects (ISOLINUX & MEMDISK) instead of Bart Lagerweij's DISKEMU (www.nu2.nu), I contacted the creator of the freedos cdrom. I was interested in how he did make that cd bootable. Now I understand it a bit. As I'm a MS Windows user, I had to figure some things out. However, upon booting I get a beautiful

I am trying to acheve pxe booting of a image of barts boot disk (www.nu2.nu). I have managed to get LTSP booting via pxelinux, so I know my dhcp/tftp servers are ok. However when I try to boot memdisk with either a stock suselinux boot image file (taken from SuSE 9.1) or my dos disk (created by dd if=/dev/fd0 of=/imagefile) I get output like MEMDISK 2.08 command line : BOOT_IMAGE=memdisk

tom & peter Hi Guys, I have a little problem I'm hoping you can help me with. When I try to boot toms image, memdisk states a "fractional end sector" while loading the image. It continues with the process until I get a "Booting..." prompt and then freezes. Here's the whole story: A while back I acquired version tomsrtbt 2.0.103, to make a multi-image boot cd as

Here is the script I put together now. I hope I haven't overlooked anything. You might need to modify the first section of variables to suit your setup. Ofcourse you need to run this as root. May be some version of this should be included with syslinux? Basically given an existing floppy image, it creates a larger image and copies its contents over and sets up the bootsector of the

Thanks for Remko for his help to solve the fractional cylinder problem. But there is the second problem, the boot disk failure (see below << [B]) ... command line: initrd=disk.img harddisk c=2 h=256 s=63 BOOT_IMAGE=memdisk Disk is hard disk, 16128K CHS=2/256/63 <<<< [A] ...

Hi I'm using memdisk as part of CD Shell' isolinux. I've created custom floppy disk image 8440kB size. I've put FreeDOS kernel and bootsector into the floppy. Boot process goes fine with this command: isolinux /boot/memdisk initrd=/ximg/fdos.img c=60 h=8 s=36 floppy The problems begin when I try to run FreeDOS memory manager emm386 from the floppy image. my config.sys: ...

I have many hp laptops that boot msdos with memdisk + pxelinux perfectly. However, I recently have the need to usb boot msdos with syslinux. And memdisk. When the dos Image loads I get "loading bootsector..." and then it halts. Sometimes I can get "starting ms-dos" but freezes as well. I'm trying to boot clean msdos floppy image created with winimage. I'm using

Hello all, I am still struggle in my isolinux.cfg I got from http://www.bootscriptor.org/ that memdisk not support Win ME boot disk however, I am using Bart's Multiple boot images (isolinux/memdisk) method (http://www.nu2.nu/bootcd/) and I try to incorporate the method mention in Bootscriptor in Bart's method. I change my isolinux.cfg as label 5 kernel isolinux.bin winme.img label 6
