with ISO Image Files For those who don't have a floppy drive installed, most of them will choose a virtual floppy drive, but unfortunately the capacity of the virtual floppy drive is too small, so there are some restrictions on the function.
ISOEMU is a more interesting software installed can boot the system by means of the ISO image file on your hard disk, so that when you install Linux would not Kepan. The principle is to use GRUP to boot the ISO file on the hard disk. Of course, this ISO file is still created as a virtual CD-ROM to boot the system. It supports FAT32 and NTFS file systems, but only supports pure
DOS
Access, ie disk access based on INT13h. Role
ISOEMU package of individual files
ISOEMU completely free of charge, a friend in need can be downloaded from here, will come back to download compressed package release here, including five files, each file action as follows:
IELDR: ISOEMU the Loader main program.
isoemu.ini: IELDR configuration file.
isogrub.iso: A bootable ISO image file provided by the software developer. This file is very small, only 1.3MB.
eltorito.sys: CD-ROM driver, with mscdex.exe can access the virtual CD-ROM created by ISOEMU under pure DOS
.
ReaderME.txt: Readme file.
Booting the system with ISO image file
If you are using Windows 2000/XP operating system, you can use the NTLDR menu to load IELDR, the specific steps are as follows:
step 1, the release of files
will IELDR release files copied to the C root directory, the purpose is to join ISOEMU on Windows 2000 /XP is OSLoader; isoemu.ini will release two documents and isogrub.iso Copy to the root directory of the C drive.
step 2, modify the boot.ini file
use Notepad to open the Boot.ini file in the root directory of C, add the following in the last line, of course, you can also enter other Content: c:\\IELDR="boot from ISO image file".
Step 3, modify isoemu.ini file
under settings, ISOEMU will activate the built-isogrub.iso default boot image file, of course, we can also start other ISO image files, but The last line of the iseemu.ini file must be modified. Note that only the 8.3 file format can be used, otherwise it will not be recognized correctly.
help you feel content isogurb.iso file is too small, you can add some common DOS
external command or through third-party tools such as WinISO software, you can then re-save.
Restart the system, you can see the newly added "boot from ISO image file" option in the boot menu, you can use the isogrub.iso image file to boot the system, the next operation is no longer said. But it should be noted that ISOEMU is still a virtual operation after all, so we don't have to expect too much speed.
Rich Shell Operations
Before the ISO image file is booted, press the Alt key to enter the ISOEMU shell mode, or the error will automatically enter the Shell mode for other reasons. Here, we can use the appropriate command a higher control authority:
HELP: View help information.
DATE: Displays the current date and time information of the local computer.
CLR: Set the screen color.
CD: Change the current directory.
CLS: Clear screen.
DIR or LS: These two commands have the same function. They are all files listed in the current directory. Different colors are displayed here. Blue indicates a folder, white indicates a normal file, and green indicates executable file.
DRV: Replace the drive letter, ISOEMU out of the virtual disk number is 0xee.
RUN: You can directly run the files in the ISO image file.
BOOT: add parameters can start other media, such as Shi hdd, fdd parameters can boot from the floppy drive from the hard drive, cdrom can boot from the CD.
LH: Load Diskemu.bin image file in high memory, this time called INT88H interrupted.
REBOOT: Skip the memory detection process and quickly reboot the system.
