Can Windows 98 Startup Disk be added to UBCD?
Hello:
I've been experimenting with adding the Partition Magic rescue disks to the UBCD. I finally got it right. Is it possible to add the windows 98 Emergency Startup Disk to the UBCD?
Thanks,
Paul

I think it will work if you use diskemu or bcdw to boot the disk image, not memdisk.

I've used the Windows ME Boot disk without any problems, you can download it from herehttp://www.torontotechcenter.com/suppor ... bootme.exe
Just download this file, put a floppy in your drive and run the file, it will copy all the files on to the floppy. Once thats done just make the image of the floppy and put it in the image directory on UBCD. Edit the menu screen of your choice and use something similar to:

if ($lastKey == key[f9]); then bcdw boot /images/your_image_name.img
Hey im veryintrested in this....im trying to get a NT based boot floppy or a win98 image boot because i use NVFlash to flash the bios of my graphics cards....now iv made the image etc...i formatted my floppy than took the files and pout them in winimage to make an image file and i out them in my custom directory and added the necissary lines to my custom.cfg....now when i select them they start and then i get an error saying their isnt a HDD available and i need to insert a sytem disk....im not sure what to do...does anyone have any ideas on how to get this to work? i know bcdw and diskemu dont work with syslinux but it seems memdisk doesnt want to do this right...any help would be appreciated
I have a few Windows Boot floppy images in my build and have had no problems with them.
I put the compressed IGZ files in the custom directory and edit the custom.cfg file to add this:
LABEL w98
MENU LABEL Win 98
KERNEL memdisk
APPEND initrd=/custom/w98.igz
I have DOS 6.2 all the way up to WinXP boot disks and they all have worked in the past..
Hope that helps..
