I'm succesfully using isolinux for bootable cd creating, but I want to emulate work with cdrom using hard disk (I have not cd writer at home). Is it possible to use small hard disk as cdrom equivalent? How to do it? I tried using the /dev/hdc1 as output file of isolinux, and after moving disk as primary master and rebooting, bios says that bootrecord is found on IDE-0 and... nothing. It doesn't work :-( Regards, Piotr Gludkowski
