Burning a PC Doctor for DOS bootable CD
Posted: Mon Jan 29, 2007 11:30 am
Yesterday, I decided to burn a PC Doctor for DOS bootable CD. Since making bootable CD's is not something I do with any regularity, my first couple of attempts failed. After my first failed attempt I decided to use a CD/RW disc to avoid making coasters. I was using Nero version 6 to do this, and I was choosing to burn a Bootable Data CD, but this failed. The CD would start to boot, then hang after a EMM386 error.
I found out the problem. Instead of choosing the Data icon and Make Bootable Disc icon, I had to choose the Copy and Backup icon on the top, then choose the Burn Image to Disc icon. I then navigated to C:\DRIVERS\WIN\PCDRDOS\ then chose Files of type, Image Files (*nrg,*iso,*.cue). Click on the *.iso file in the window, then proceed with the burning. I hope this helps any other CD image burning n00b's like me.
