Re: Image nk.bin load problem

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



If you create a bootable CD, you have to load a CDROM device driver in config.sys and use mscdex to map a drive to the CDROM. After you've done that you can use LoadCEPC to load NK. The bootable part of the CDROM is emulated as a floppy, and you can't access files on the "non-bootable-partition" of the CDROM without loading a CDROM device driver.

I can't remember exactly, but your boot files should look something like this:

config.sys

DEVICE=\CDROM.SYS [param]

autoexec.bat

MSCDEX [param] /L:X

X:\LoadCEPC [param]

Good luck,

I must load my custom OS image (nk.bin) from Platform Builder to a CEPC.
My PC hasn't a floppy drive, so I burned a bootable CD.
My problem is that after the boot I can't read any other files from the CD (except for the system files contained in the original floppy). I tried to copy nk.bin to the CD, but the system can't read so I can't load the image with LOADCEPC.EXE.
I also tried to plug an hard-disk, but I can't read its FAT32 partition.
So, how can I load the OS image? I think it should be much more simple to do!!
