Drive Image 5.0
Posted: Thu Mar 30, 2006 7:34 pm
PowerQuest Drive Image 5.0 was the standard imaging software at the company I now work for, so I've added it to my customized version of UBCD.
To make the floppies you don't need to install the program, the CD will allow you to make the floppies straight from it.
Here's how to add it to the CD:
1) Make the physical floppies.
2) Load both into WinImage (or similar program) and save as separate files. In this case I used PQDI_1of2.IMA and PQDI_2of2.IMA. Mark both as read-only files.
3) Copy the files from the second image to a Temp folder. Delete Command.com and AutoExec.bat from the files it copies.
4) Extract AutoExec.bat from the first image and add
REM to the line that reads PAUSE >NUL
so it looks like
REM PAUSE >NUL
Save the updated AutoExec.bat file.
4) Open PQDI_1of2.IMA and switch the format of the floppy from 1.44 to 2.88 and inject the updated AutoExec.bat file. Save as PQDI50.IMA.
5) Copy the files from the Temp folder for the second disk into your new 2.88 image file. Save the file again and put it in your UBCD custom folder.
6) Edit the UBCD\Boot\Menus file you customize to add
if ($lastKey == key[d]); then diskemu \custom\PQDI50.IMA
and you'll be all set.
These instructions aren't the best but I'm tired at the moment. Hope they help.
