I was trying to use boot disk today for the game TES: Arena. Because DosBox runs too slow on this computer, I wanted to try boot disk(I have no clue what the boot disk does, but I guess you use it to emulate DOS on startup).
On the boot disk page, it reads that I need to get the dos sb emulator, so I did.

Next up on the driver page it reads that I need to configure the path to the SB emulator files, but I have no clue how to use this(nor how to use the boot disk at all).

I just want a lil' help on this, so I can get this started.

I feel pretty stupid because I still don't get it. :blink: :tai:

if you're using the boot disk from abandonia, you don't have to set the values. they already are setted . you just need to copy the the files in the floppy (at the right place)

as to using the boot disk "just double-click the executable, insert a floppy into the drive, and the rest is done by the program!"
clear enough.
once you've done that, restart your PC. It should boot on the floppy. and display a dos screen.

I've never used the boot disk. so...

[1337Elite]

Well, the boot disk program isn't just to put in your floppy and run the program actually.
You need to choose from "Image file", "Format Floppy" & "Extract files".
I choosed the Format floppy thingie.
I'll restart my comp and see what happens! k:

Edit: Nothing happend, nothing at all.
I put the floppy in, restarted my computer and then... nothing. Just the ordinary...

I guess your computer isn't set to start with floppy.

when the computer boots, type "del". (you should see a message like "type del to enter setup")

then find the setup for the boot sequance, change it so the floppy is first.

[1337Elite]

I did that too but wasn't able to find the boot setup, just bios.

I'll take a closer look and report. :bye:

Edit:
I found it! It started Win95 in DOS mode and said it couldn't found any mousedriver...
And I couldn't mount c as the hardrive C either, methinks that it has to have a FAT partition...

[Mara]

it's said on abandonia "won't work with ntfs"

Creating a fat32 partition should do. If you have a good soft, (like partition magic) you can do that without erasing your c: partiton.

you really can't use dosbox ? have you try to finetune the settings ?

[1337Elite]

I have a really slow computer so DosBox isn't the thing to count with.

PartitionMagic, eh? I thought it was for reformatting only..

I think I have it around somewhere.. I'll take a search
