Re: Create bootable CF with application

Hi again!

Think I got it. If I open (CreateFile) my disk as a physical drive I
can access the MBR and also the file boot sector with ReadFile. I've
now tried to copy the MBR and file boot sector of Win98 to a
non-system formatted CF. Then I copy the systemfiles to the disk and I
can boot and the command prompt is launched.

Thank you all for your suggestions and comments!

Sincerely,

Nicklas
