image help?

Post by resin »

Hi can someone explain how to create a img, and how to add files to it, so that it can be played in DOSBox? I've tried a few different methods but the img never ends up loading in DOSBox. Thank you

Some builds of DOSBox can create image files, but I use bximage from Bochs. The image file has to be formatted before DOSBox can use it, so use FreeDOS or a boot disk for MS/PC/DR-DOS to fdisk (if creating an HDD) and format (HDD or floppy) the image. Then just type "imgmount c imagename.img" to mount, and mount a second drive to transfer files into it.
Today entirely the maniac there is no excuse with the article.
