The problem is all my images over 10Mb will fail to load with memdisk.(test pc is a P4 2.4Ghz with 512Mb ram ) With Bochs, i'm using hard disk images and they're bootable in Bochs and well detected by memdisk but won't boot. I even tried to boot on some other support after a failling memdisk boot to see if there were the files i put in the hard disk image and they were here. If there

Tried MSDOS7.0(win95osr2) only not freedos. Why hard disk images may fail with msdos ? De"Blaauw,Bernd B."

Hi I'm having a hard time in making a hard drive image which will boot with memdisk. Any of my tries with disk creator from bochs won't work with 100Mb hard drive image.I also tried to make one using a real hard drive and winimage and it didn't work. Is there a tutorial for making such images ? I would like to make them under windows but i can also make them under linux if needed. My

Hello all, I've been following this project with interest, and have had great fun implementing Isolinux within the FreeDOS cdrom distribution. Since I'm not that an expert at Linux, I would like to know how I can *succesfully* generate a bootable image from a partition. Situation is like this: (640MB RAM on system) 60GB IDE harddisk, primary partition 1 win98 500MB extended partition

Haven't yet had a need for 10MB FDD images. The biggest I had to create was 5MB (5760kb). At that time I had to use WinImage to create the FDD image and it took me a while to figure out the correct settings. My notes state: "I'm getting 'missing FAT' errors in WinImage, and 7-zip complains about 'unexpected end'. The fix is to increasing the FDD Heads from 2 to 4 and

In other words: I'm suggesting to use WinImage as it also allows easy injection of new files *and* updating of already existing files. May I ask which vendor is distributing a DOS FW update that is 20MB? I'd like to see the files. Sometimes you just need the .bin/.rom and the actual FW update EXE and it would fit a 5MB FDD image.

I am using PXELINUX, ISOLINUX, and memdisk in my project (http://unattended.sourceforge.net/). When memdisk gained support for compressed images, I started using it because it is cool. I used gzip to compress floppy.img to create floppy.imz, and all was good. But now my users are complaining that they cannot use WinImage (a Windows floppy image editing tool) to edit my floppy.imz files. I have

hi: i try to make some images for pxelinux+memdisk. the version i try is 2.0.6 and 2.0.7pre5 for 2.88M floppy image, first i make a 1.44M boot floopy, then use "winimage" to load the disk and transfer it to 2.88M format, then save the image. it seems a easy way to make a 2.88M boot image. for harddisk image, i use vmware to build a virtual machine with 20M harddisk, make it boot

The following patch allows memdisk to support compressed floppy images created by WinImage. WinImage creates a PKZIP-style archive with a single member, the .img (or .ima) file containing the floppy image. WinImage names such archives with a .imz extension. This patch lifts the header/trailer checking code from gunzip() to a new function, check_zip(), which both checks for a valid ZIP image and

Hey Peter! Great work on the SYSLINUX project! I spent three days noodling over how to accomplish *exactly* what your ISOLINUX/MEMDISK combination does! Even a blind hog finds an acorn from time to time. I have it working great using the crpack utility suite from http://www.nu2.nu and one of Bart Lagerweij's techniques employs your SYSLINUX utilities - you probably already know all about

The narod.ru images are super outdated (FreeDOS kernel 2028) unfortunately. If you are interested I could provide a 5MB FDD image template based on FreeDOS 2041 kernel (the latest available at that time in 2014) where you would just inject your ROM and EXE (and possibly adjust autoexec.bat to autostart/apply the FW update). It's a minimal FreeDOS FDD image that defaults to a clean boot with

Like a lot of people, I am using SYSLINUX + MEMDISK to make a technician universal boot disk on a USB key (I have done the same with ISOLINUX and MEMDISK for a CD using Bart's method for bootable CDs) I *LOVE* Syslinux and MEMDISK, and what I can do with floppy images! I have a few problems that have cropped up, most notably the DOCMEMORY program (www.simmstester.com) boots fing, but the

I have been trying to track down information on building HD boot images for ISOLINUX and MEMDISK, and so far, haven't had a whole lot of luck. I've found a number of sources describing the process of setting up ISOLINUX and MEMDISK, and how to configure the boot CD to boot various OS's. I've also read through Bart Lagerweij's BootCD/ModBoot pages, and Mikhail

Are their any plans to allow compressed floppy images in later versions of memdisk? Right now Im using isolinux/memdisk on a cd with quite a few floppy images, each image has a different purpose as you can imagine. Many of the floppy imaages are not 'full' and would benifit greatly from compression. Is their a standard(ish) way to compress a floppy image, maybe compress is misleading, Id

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, I am using syslinux 3.63 and I am trying to get an image file going for ghost. I was able to get the unicast image working by using winimage and creating the format for the image as 2.88mb and saving the boot sector as win 95/98. I tried the same thing with a ghost multicast image and it doesn't work, says invalid system disk.. Lots are variables so I am not sure where

Has anyone had a problem with afud408 (Award flash program) freezing the system when ran from memdisk? The freeze occurs when just running afud408 (not attempting to update bios, although it freezes then as well.) I was using pxelinux/memdisk 3.36, I upgrade to 3.51, and also fell back to 2.11 all have the same issue. I have tried all the switches for memdisk that I saw posted on the memdisk
