ms-dos file extractor

Pages: (1/2) > >>

Dexter:

Hi all,

Theres a small program floating around that extracts the necessary ms-dos files from a windows 98 install to allow a hard drive to boot to dos.

Can anybody point me in the right direction??

Thanks

Dexter

This isn't what you're talking about, but do you think it would work for you?

IIRC it was downloadable from a site that had cabinet plans on it, including a bartop arcade jobbie.

I know exactly what you are talking about, I had to do it the other day to fix a problem a friend was having with her laptop, however I can't remember the link.  I did find a few links that describe just changing a few lines in a file that may help.

I actually had to replace some files when I did it, but this might work.  If I remember the site, I'll post it.

Dexter:

This program allows a boot drive to have no windows install and boot to ms-dos (7 I think)

I think it just copies over files from a windows boot drive?
