This article mainly explains "how to make the latest universal DOS boot disk". Interested friends may wish to have a look at it. The method introduced in this paper is simple, fast and practical. Let's let the editor take you to learn how to make the latest universal DOS startup disk.

First, explain the ways in which various operating systems boot to DOS:

WIN9x system: press F8 after boot, select enter item 5, you can enter the basic dos7.x environment of the system.

2K/XP/2003: the system does not have its own DOS, so you need to get the DOS environment through a DOS boot disk or a virtual floppy drive.

This paper introduces four methods of making DOS boot disk. The basic program files that co-exist in the four boot disks are as follows:

ATTRIB.EXE file attribute modification tool.

AUTOEXEC.BAT automatically executes batch processing when booting.

CONFIG.SYS system profile.

DELTREE.EXE deletes directories and embedded files.

DI1000DD.SYS USB device driver.

DOSKEY.COM DOSKEY, a convenient command line tool.

EDIT.COM text editing tool.

EMM386.EXE memory driver.

The partition tool that comes with FDISK.EXE 98SE.

FDISK-ME.exe WinME comes with a partition tool that supports more than 60G hard drives.

FORMAT.COM formatting tool.

HIMEM.SYS memory driver.

JMHDFIX.EXE Jiangmin hard disk repair king, repair hard disk good things, novice use with caution.

LCC.COM entry and exit directory tools, support for Chinese directories.

MOUSE.COM PS/2, Serial interface mouse drive.

MSCDEX.EXE optical drive hypervisor.

OAKCDROM.SYS universal optical drive.

PC.EXE PCTOOLS .

R.com restart tool.

SCANDISK.EXE disk scan tool, used to fix some disk problems.

SMARTDRV.EXE disk cache.

SYS.COM delivery system.

USBASPI.SYS USB driver.

XCOPY.EXE XCOPY file directory copy tool.

First, the floppy version of the DOS boot disk

Applicable object: friends with 1.44MB 3.5in floppy drive.

A. the memory management that supports himem and emm386 can break through the 640K conventional memory limit of dos.

B, can drive a variety of common types of optical drives (CDROM, DVD-ROM).

C, support smartdrv disk buffer acceleration, greatly speed up the disk read and write speed under DOS, especially when installing the system under DOS or GHOST image files, it will save you a lot of time.

D, the U disk can be identified and the drive letter is assigned to it automatically.

E. automatically load mouse driver.

Download address:

Http://nnmm.arongsoft.net/dos/dosbootV1104.exe

Production and use steps:

1. After downloading, insert a floppy disk into the floppy drive, run the program, and it will automatically make a DOS boot disk with the above functions.

2, insert the floppy disk into the floppy drive, restart the computer, press the Del key on the system self-test interface to enter the BIOS setting (if it is a special BIOS, please refer to the motherboard manual to determine which key to enter the BIOS), enter the BIOS FEATURES SETUP, set the Boot Sequence (boot sequence) to disk A first, and set the option by pressing the PageUP or PageDown key on the item. Press ESC after setting, return to the BIOS main interface, select Save and Exit (save and exit BIOS settings, press F10 directly, but not all BIOS supports it) enter to confirm exit BIOS settings.

3. After the system is rebooted, the DOS system will be booted automatically from the floppy drive. There are three options in the boot menu.

Boot dos with cdrom is the drive optical drive.

Boot dos with cdrom+usb is the drive CD-ROM drive and USB drive.

Boot dos only only starts dos and loads memory management and smartdrv cache.

Use the ↑↓ key to select the startup mode you need, and press enter to make sure. What needs to be noted here is that if you select boot dos with cdrom+usb, there will be a long pause in scanning usb devices during startup (ranging from 1-2 minutes). Please wait patiently.

4. After the startup is successful, the word DOS LOADING SUCCESSFUL will be displayed and you will be at the prompt A:\ >. After the DOS system is started, you can do what you need to do now.

Note: use a good quality floppy disk as a boot disk to keep the floppy drive working normally.

2. DOS boot disk of CD-ROM version

Applicable object: friends who have no floppy drive but have optical drive (burner) (friends who have floppy drive but don't like floppy drive).

A. the memory management that supports himem and emm386 can break through the 640K conventional memory limit of dos.

B, can drive a variety of common types of optical drives (CDROM, DVD-ROM).

C, support smartdrv disk buffer acceleration, greatly speed up the disk read and write speed under DOS, especially when installing the system under DOS or GHOST image files, it will save you a lot of time.

D, the U disk can be identified and the drive letter is assigned to it automatically.

E, you can choose whether to support NTFS partition or not.

F, automatically load the mouse driver.

Boot dos with cdrom is the drive optical drive.

Boot dos with cdrom+usb is the drive CD-ROM drive and USB drive.

Boot dos only only starts dos and loads memory management and smartdrv cache.

Use the ↑↓ key to select the startup mode you need, and press enter to make sure. What needs to be noted here is that if you select boot dos with cdrom+usb, there will be a long pause in scanning usb devices during startup (ranging from 1-2 minutes). Please wait patiently.

7. After the startup is successful, the word DOS LOADING SUCCESSFUL will be displayed and the prompt A:\ > will be displayed. After the DOS system is started, you can do what you need to do now.

Note: please back up the original data on the U disk before making the boot disk, and it is best to fully format the U disk.

4. DOS startup of hard disk version

Suitable object: friends who do not have floppy drive, U disk, burner, optical drive (those who like to pursue the sense of speed).

Method 1: before installing the new system (2K/XP/2003), if your C disk is in FAT32 format, then you can use the dos boot disk to boot the system and execute the sys c: command, transfer the dos system files to the C disk, and then install 2K/XP/2003 (be careful not to change the partition format of the C disk during installation). After the windows installation is complete, there will be two boot options. Let you choose whether to start 2K/XP/2003 or Microsoft Windows (that is, dos), select the ↑↓ key and enter to confirm.

Method 2: if you have installed 2K/XP/2003, or if the system disk is in NTFS format, but you want to install dos again, you can do this by modifying some system files, but it is troublesome. Here is a simple method:

A. the memory management that supports himem and emm386 can break through the 640K conventional memory limit of dos.

B, can drive a variety of common types of optical drives (CDROM, DVD-ROM).

C, support smartdrv disk buffer acceleration, greatly speed up the disk read and write speed under DOS, especially when installing the system under DOS or GHOST image files, it will save you a lot of time.

D, the U disk can be identified and the drive letter is assigned to it automatically.

E, you can choose whether to support NTFS partition or not.

F, automatically load the mouse driver.

1, download the following tool VFloopy compression package, extract to the hard drive, run the VFloopy.exe, select the NTFS.IMG attached to the package on the "Image File" bar, the other generally do not need to change, directly click the "apply" button, OK, and then the software will require you to restart the system.

Http://nnmm.arongsoft.net/dos/VFloopy-ntfs-v1104.rar

2. After the system is rebooted, before entering the 2K/XP/2003, there will be an extra item in the boot menu that is "started by a virtual boot floppy disk". This is the option to boot to DOS. Select it and enter to enter the DOS menu. The meaning of the DOS menu is as follows:

Boot DOS with CDROM-drives the CD-ROM drive

Boot DOS with CDROM+USB-drives CD-ROMs and USB drives

Boot DOS with CDROM+NTFS-drives the CD drive and supports NTFS partitions

Boot DOS ONLY-only DOS is started and memory management and smartdrv cache are loaded.

Use the ↑↓ key to select the startup mode you need, and press enter to make sure. What needs to be noted here is that if you select Boot DOS with CDROM+USB, there will be a long pause in scanning USB devices during startup (ranging from 1-2 minutes). Please wait patiently.

When Boot DOS with CDROM+NTFS is selected, the NTFS read and write tool is automatically loaded, so that NTFS partitions can also be manipulated under DOS, which is very meaningful for special users.

3. So far, the hard disk version of DOS boot has been successfully made, as long as you do not reinstall or format the system disk, this DOS boot menu will always exist.

Note: do not use the sys command to transfer the system to the system disk, which will destroy the boot information of the system.
