Creating A Boot Disk:
Even though this example was done by me for a Compaq computer,
just change the CD driver----that's all.
Put a blank disk in the a: drive and shell out to DOS.
From the C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND prompt of a Windows 95 system:
format a: /s
copy fdisk.exe a:
copy format.com a:
copy mscdex.exe a:
copy edit.com a:
copy c:\windows\himem.sys a:
copy c:\windows\emm386.exe a:
THIS INFO. ( is for Compaq only) but a good idea for others--->
Download this file from this URL link address on the Compaq website.
http://www.compaq.com/support/files/desktops/us/software/85.html
When you download this program, place it in a directory. I might
suggest (SOMENAME) When you run the program, it will ask you to hit
'C', on the next screen 'A' and then 'Y'
When you hit YES it will create a subfolder in the directory called
DISK1.
In DISK 1 you will find a file called CPQIDECD.SYS. driver.
copy c:\SOMENAME\cpqidecd.sys a: (this reference is for copying driver
to your floppy if you have Compaq ONLY)
THIS INFO. above is to extract the Compaq CD Driver--->
the cpqidecd.sys driver is mine so replace it with your own in the line
below example.
cpqidecd.sys (make sure your driver is on the floppy).
Then edit a:\config.sys
Add these lines:
device=a:\himem.sys
device=a:\emm386.exe noems
dos=high,umb
files=30
buffers=30
device=a:\cpqidecd.sys /d:CPQCD01
By the way CPQCD01 is just a name I gave the CD-ROM, you can use your
first name, your cat's name, whatever you want.
Then hit the ALT-F key together, X for exit and then Y or ENTER to
save the file.
Then edit a:\autoexec.bat
a:\mscdex.exe /d:CPQCD01 /v
Then hit the ALT-F key together, X for exit and then Y or ENTER to
save the file.
NOW, test your floppy to see if it will read anything that you put
into your CD drive---it should---if so----your DONE.
NOW, write protect it and save it.
