I'm about to burst right now. I am trying to get a floppy boot image (dos622.img - created from a dos 6.22 boot floppy) to boot a cd in "no emulation" mode. The goal is to have the cd boot with the image AND additionnal files on it. (so I don't have to create a "floppy emu" boot with cd-rom drivers). Thanks!

Hi slick,
AFAIK, Waht you need to make a boot CD is not the IMG but the boot floppy.
The CD writers I have used have an option to make a boot CD. When I choose that option it asks for a boot floppy.

If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.

hi M2G,
actually, a boot floppy or a boot floppy image is quite the same ;) These lead to "1.44 floppy emu" mode by default, and If I try to change this, the cd is not bootable, wich is to be expected.
I was wondering if there are soft to "convert" boot images, settings to change for "no-emu", or whatever info I can get about it.
thanks.

I'm having the same problem. How can I make a DOS boot CD that does not use floppy or hard disk emulation, but runs right off the CD? My BIOS already has the option to boot from CD, and it is set first on the boot list, so please don't suggest that.
