Like Monk said, the best you could hope for I guess, is a boot disc (available here at Ab) that boot your computer into dos, from where you would have to start your games manually.

Of course, that disc would need some trimming before you can take full advantage of your dos computer.

About dos commands, search google for 'dos introduction'. There's a great site for the dos newbie like the most of us.

well what i wanted to do was put in a floppy that will allow me to boot a game.[/b]

Plug and Play generation, eh?

It doesn't work that way. Practically speaking, when you use a bootdisk you will end up with something not much different from DosBox.

I suggest that instead of pursuing this fool's errand further you take the advice and read up on using DosBox.

Booters were Plug 'N' Play way before Billy-boy thought of it

Hi there,

Are you sure you need the floopy disk?

1) I downloaded the game, firstly I ran the setup.exe file and selected:
2) 3. Sounds Blaster, 1. Sound Blaster, then any key to close window
3) Install DosBox, the easy way can be found here: Easy way to use DosBox
4) Then dragged the HEXX.BAT file onto the DOSBox.exe file (Alt-Enter to make it Fullscreen)

And that opened the game up fine, if this is not what you are after then you may need to look at the guides mentioned above, but this played the game OK on my WinXP computer.
