China DOS Union

Can the function of "booting from the hard disk" be added to the system boot floppy disk!? I really want to add a boot floppy disk with this function (and set it as the default). In this way, there is no need to take out the floppy disk when restoring the backup!!

This function is not difficult. Try the GRUB-based DOS boot floppy disk I made. There are multiple downloads in the forum.. And it will be included in the "China DOS Union Super DOS Boot Floppy Disk" in the future.

Moderator, I want to burn the Super Universal MS-DOS 7.10 bootable disk to a CD to make a bootable CD, but both disks I made can't boot. Can you tell me how to succeed?

I have successfully made bootable CDs with other IMG files.

This disk can definitely be made into a bootable CD. Flip through the old posts, there are relevant discussions in them.

Why do I get the prompt "NOT Enough Memory" when I use this disk to boot and then play "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 4"?
Please ask which item I should use to boot.

If you get this prompt when booting with the first or second item, it means there is not enough EMS memory. Because the conventional memory must not be insufficient at this time.

Then, which item should I choose to boot~?

Can't start my IBM 20G mobile hard disk.

Please ask how to start my IBM 20G hard disk?

Use that 0.1 modified version made by coolming. It can be downloaded in this section.

My external hard drive is an IBM USB 2.0, and the USB port on the motherboard is also 2.0. When I use the MS-DOS 7.10 boot disk (item 3 or 4) to load the external hard drive, the following situation occurs:

DUSE Version 4.4 Build 110 Release (General)
DOS USB Stack Driver with USB Storage Extensions.

Then it can't continue. What's the matter?

Pulling the USB connector out and then plugging it in again should work.

Pulling out and plugging in the USB connector again doesn't work! What should I do? Also, how to use the 0.1 modified version made by coolming, it can't boot!

Can I format an NTFS hard drive?

Great, thank you very much for the excellent work from the moderator. Actually, due to historical reasons, I think it's already remarkable to be like this. It's impossible to be all-encompassing and have full hardware and software compatibility.

There is an idea or suggestion. Since the space of 1.44 floppy disks is limited and it's hard to cover everything, can we make a disk based on this? It's hoped that for NTFS reading and writing and Chinese input, some functions not at the system startup level can be made into a separate package (this package is not limited by size, and some excellent software like file management, picture and media browsing, etc., can be added. It's best to also support cdr like GHOST). Then make it into a bootable USB flash drive or CD-ROM. Put that large program package in the root directory. Now, most machines support CD-ROM or USB flash drive boot. Then booting will be a full-function DOS system.

Moreover, for people like me who are novices, when installing a new system or when the system dies, there's no repair (and it's also very troublesome), only recovery. Having a bootable disk that can browse, edit, and back up hard disk files when necessary is still very practical.

A little suggestion, personal opinion. Thanks again.

Looking at the registration time, you can tell I'm new here. After walking around and coming back, I'm a bit embarrassed to show you. I also need to straighten up my attitude and study a lot.

This boot disk starts a bit slowly, but it occupies very little memory and is fast when using GHOST. However, there is no support for NTFS. After I converted the C drive to NTFS and used it to boot, I didn't find the original C drive, and the C drive became the D drive. What's the reason. [email protected] QQ:305688
