The same technique can be used with a 2.88 MByte floppy disk image. By default, we will use a 1.44 MByte floppy disk image. This technique requires a file containing an image of a bootable disk. This is, I believe, the most likely technique to work. We are going to use isolinux and memdisk. There are many, many methods of creating bootable CD’s. (Bootable CD’s can be created from Linux using most of the same tools, and from DOS, but this procedure is for Windows). All of the tools (including FreeDOS) are free and freely available. This technique describes how to do this “from the ground up” by downloading all of the tools you need from the web. You will need a Windows computer with a CD drive that can burn CD’s. All you need to do this is a few free tools and a bootable floppy disk image. The CD can also be used to install DOS on a USB stick or a disk partition, even on a machine without a floppy drive! The purpose of this procedure is to describe how to do this “from the ground up” using free and freely available tools AND to do this entirely from WindowsXP. This CD can be used to boot almost any fairly modern computer…a much wider variety of machines than a USB memory stick.
