Title: AdvanceCD Help
Post by: IG-88 on February 22, 2007, 09:43:32 pm

OK. Here is what I'd like to do. I want to use the AdvanceCD with my Roms already put on it to use as a bootable CD. That is I want to be able to put into a cd-rom and install the whole thing onto a clean formatted hard drive once and be done with it.

Then every time I turn on the computer it just starts up.

Kinda like Fraggals boot cd or Spystyles boot cd. Get what I mean? Is this even possible to do with this?

I think I can get the roms into it and the .iso made. I'm just not sure how to do this install onto the HD thing.

instead of using "makecd" to create the .iso, use "makepart" and then maybe ghost the file to a partition. i haven't tried that yet though.

Hey. Thanks for the answer. I'm not quite sure if I understand what you're talking about tho. I've never "ghosted" so I'm not sure how it works. It's basically making a copy right? How would I this onto a blank formatted hard drive?

I was just thinking. People could interpret this in the wrong way. It would be very easy to sell a CD like this and I think it has been done before. Perhaps it's best if I do not pursue this any further  :dunno

i was referring to norton ghost software. it transfers/saves images of the hd from/into files.
