Of course it can be done. It's very easy to achieve with EasyBoot.

But it is said that the compatibility of EasyBoot is not as good as DiskEmu 1.x.

MiniWin series, with a graphical interface of Win3.1!!! It's best to have a USB flash drive driver inside

But EasyBoot is more suitable for beginners. At least using EasyBoot first can lay the foundation for learning DiskEmu.

I like boot disks from CDs because my computer doesn't have a floppy drive.

By the way, I want to make a bootable CD. How should I edit the boot image? Specifically, I use Nero Burning Rom 6.0 to burn a bootable disk. Nero reads the boot files from a floppy disk and then burns them to the CD. I want to put more DOS tools on it. One floppy disk isn't enough, and I don't want to put them in the data area of the CD. What should I do?

What is this written about?

I think there should be the following types of boot disks:
1. A: drive: for use on practical old machines and P4, but the boot speed is relatively slow
2. CD-ROM drive: suitable for current P4 series
3. USB flash drive: suitable for medium and high-end machines
The boot disk supports Chinese, machine maintenance, system installation, DOS learning
The content is simple, practical, with fast boot speed, and some common Windows software is added.

It would be great to have a boot disk with 633K of free memory.

Is there really one?

I think the bootable CD made by Yiye Song is quite good, and I like it very much

It seems that most still love WinPE...

They don't mean that! They mean they love "CD-bootable operating systems" (that is, "CD boot disks"); WinPE is just one type of CD-bootable boot disk; similarly, "DOS CD version" and so on are also CD-bootable boot disks. They say they like "CD boot disks", which is relative to "floppy boot disks". How can it be said that liking "CD boot disks" means liking WinPE???? Isn't there the word "(such as WinPE)" in the parentheses? Everyone didn't choose the option "like WinPE boot disk" (and there isn't such an option above at all).

Hehe, this is a loophole in my words. But what everyone is referring to should be boot disks like WinPE.

I like the combination optimization of Shen Jie's Chinese boot disk and Super Universal MS-DOS 7.10 boot disk, delete the useless ones, and add small software that is not in my own commonly used disks

Does this count?
