Ultimate Boot CD

Yea...thanks man, it works!

I tried to update BIOS using the integrated Freedos 0.84 in UBCD but my machine freezes each time I tried to do that. Freedos v1.0 works, however. So I want to incorporate the new Freedos v1.0 in UBCD, but tried to append fdboot.img in the /data folder in Freedos 1.0, but UBCD doen't boot from it. D...

In the fd011520.img file, sectors per cluster is 8, not 240...so how do you get 240?

as702: Thanks man! You nailed it! I wonder where do you get the number of the cylinders? I tried to go to Change Format->select custom image format, but it only shows heads and sectors, no info about cylinders? Icecube: Thanks for all the tips and tools you provided. They all help me a lot. I enjoy ...

LABEL fd MENU LABEL FreeDOS BootDisk KERNEL memdisk APPEND initrd=/images/fd011520.img c=240 h=8 s=36 floppy where "fd011520.img" is the name of your image c(cylinders),h(heads),s(sectors). the above is for an 11520KB image. you can change these values to suit your boot image (use winimag...

I tried Imdisk in Windows XP, but when I mounted dosubcdhd.img, its file system could not be recognized. I tried WinImage and added files to dosubcdhd.img, its not bootable from UBCD. I tried to mount the image in SLAX following your instruction, SLAX said ./dosubcdhd is busy. When I opened the ./do...

Thank you so much ~ I added the files, rezip it as dosubcdhd.img.gz, copy it to /images/dosubcd.igz, but freedos still doesn't start up in UBCD. Is my way wrong? Without any additional files added in dosubcdhd.img, I zipped it and send it to /images/dosubcdhd.igz, freedos is still not bootable. Have...

Icecube, thank you so much for spending this significant amount of time to solve my headache. And you are a real good doctor^_^ I have downloaded dosubcdhd.bz2. After I run bunzip2 dosubcdhd.bz2, what I got is a file called "dosubcdhd" instead of "dosubcdhd.img". I tried to renam...

Now i got it run without error. But the expended dosubcd.img is still not bootable....it's really fustrating....>_<

Thanks again for your reply.

i ran the script but it complains about finding mkdosfs. I use SLAX. If you have an idea where mkdosfs is in SLAX, it will be super super helpful for me. Thank you!

I was trying to expand dosubcd.img to ~10Mb so that I can put more files in. I tried to "Change format...->select custom image format" in WinImage and expended dosubcd.img to ~10Mb. I re-zipped dosubcd.img to dosubcd.igz in /images. But now FreeDos is no longer bootable. Any help would be ...

Simply put, the PDK folder has syscfg.exe, which can change the BIOS configuration; and edidos.exe, which alters the OEM serial number. I don't think this info is very important though, since what I want is just to expand the size limit of the dosubcd.img AND have it working as usual, i.e. bootable ...

Thank you very much for your reply. It's a PDK folder containing all the utilities to change BIOS info, serial number, run disk test, etc....I need to boot from dosubcd.img, which is on a PXE Server. It's not booting from the CD. Therefore, I need to expand dosubcd.img so that I can put the PDK fold...

i want to put a 20MB file in dosubcd.img so that I can run it when freedos boots. However, dosubcd.img has a size limit of 2.88MB. How can I expand the limit? I tried UltraISO and WinImage, neither works for me.

Oh....MODE is an external command, licensed by MS-DOS only. Does anyone know what is the equivalent command in FreeDos?

I am using console redirection using a serial port. The default baud rate is 2400. So my remote console displays correctly only when it's set to 2400. But somehow I need to change the baud rate to 9600. I added a statement at the line of config.sys mode com1 baud=9600 parity=n data=8 stop=1 But the ...

I got it. I used slax 6 . Run "cp dosubcd.igz dosubcd.img.gz" then "gunzip dosubcd.img.gz" then I am able to mount the img file.

I need console redirection automatically start up every time I use freedos in UBCD. so I need to put "ctty com1" in autoexec.bat in freedos. since freedos is zipped in fd32rdp.igz, how do i unzip it, edit autoexec.bat, and then zip it again? Thanks for reading.
