Hi all,

Have following problem: need the image of the DOS_7 2,88 MB bootdisk for ex. as. an *.iso or *.nrg file.
I need this because I would like to create bootable CD on the base of it and I would also like to add more utilities.
The idea is because on a standard 1,44MB floppy its a bit to less space.

Could anyone let me know where I can get it?

Thanks in advance!

Zennon

2.88MB bootdisk image is supported. Goodluck in building your bootable diskette.

It is not recommended to use 2.88 image as a boot disk. You can use 1.44 image to boot the CD, then access utilities or whatever from the CD.

O.K.

Got the WinImage 8.0 Trial.

But I don't know exactly how to transfer the content of my 1,44MB MS DOS 7.0 boot diskette into the 2,88MB image?

You do not, you use a 1.44 Image for the CD boot floppy emulation, just use the rest of the CD space to copy the extra software too..........

BTW there was never a retail version of MS-DOS7.xx !!

You appear to be using Windows Software. Various MS-DOS and compatible software is available if you want to stay within the true spirit of this forum "Disk Op. Sys"
