 Posted: Wed May 09, 2007 12:56 am Post subject: How to create a bootable CD w/access to entire CD (SATA CD D |
 |
|
In the past I have created bootable CD's that I have put various emergency
utilities on. I used the Win98 bootable floppy as the basis for the bootable
image file. This would boot from the CD using floppy emulation, load a bunch
of generic CD drivers and then mount the remainder of the CD with a drive
letter (so after booting from the CD I would have a 1.4MB emulated floppy
and an "E" drive with 695MB of room for utilities & tools).
This has worked great for many years and has worked on 99% of the
computer/CD ROM combinations that I used it in. Unfortunately with the new
SATA CD/DVD drives the generic IDE driver's don't work any longer and I
can't access the large partition of the CD.
How can I create a bootable CD now that gives me access to the entire CD?
I see that Nero and EasyCD Creator both have a "Hard Disk Emulation" for
bootable CD's but how/where would I get an image file for this option? Would
this do what I want?
Thanks |

(You don't want hard disk emulation.)
Try replacing references to OAKCDROM.SYS with GCDROM.SYS in config.sys?
E.g. Config.sys: device=gcdrom.sys /d:MSCD000 /C0
Autoexec.bat: MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD000
http://marktsai0316.googlepages.com/gcdromfordos
Please post back how it went. |

OK, So I tried gcdrom.sys and it found the controller and mscdex assigned a
drive letter to it. When I switched to that drive letter the directory was
empty. The CD name was correct for the CD that was inserted though.
Any ideas? |
