Boot from a virtual CD-ROM - China DOS Union Forum - China DOS Union

Autoit has written an article about using LoadISO to reference ISO virtual drive images under DOS: http://www.cn-dos.net/forum/viewthread.php?tid=16197&fpage=1

This method is to use the ISO image under DOS, so that you can run Winnt in the virtual drive to install Win2000. However, there are two or three restarts during the installation process. I don't know if the Win2000 installation program still needs to call the original ISO image after restarting. If so, then when the installation program has entered the graphical installation interface, at this time, the LoadISO command can no longer be used to load the virtual drive.

Since I haven't tried using LoadISO to install the system, I dare not easily draw a conclusion. Previously, the two elder brothers Gandalf and Climbing proposed that Grub + IsoEmu can perfectly solve the problem. Please check the following posts, hoping to be helpful to you:

Please clarify the content you want to translate. The current content "请问任何从虚拟光盘启动安装WIN2000 PRO" needs to be translated. The translation is: "Please ask how to install WIN2000 PRO from a virtual CD - ROM startup"

Why are there only people reading and no one speaking?

I haven't tried it, and I don't know either.

Please note: It's "boot from virtual CD! No relevant articles found in this regard!"

There's really no other way, so I'll just have to install from the hard disk!
