That's because it's an iso file. This is not for floppys.

Re: MS-DOS Boot Disk Download
okay, so this if fine if you have a windows box. I don't so how about providing a .img file as well?
Re: MS-DOS Boot Disk Download
But there is one! It's packed inside the .EXE and it's an .IMA file, same concept as .IMG files really. You can extract the .IMA from the .EXE using software such as WinRAR by right clicking and selecting Extract Here (WinRAR only). It will give an error extracting, but everything still works.
Re: MS-DOS Boot Disk Download
I am working on providing the actual .IMG file as well as a zip for all of these disks. This should hopefully be completed in a few weeks.

Re: MS-DOS Boot Disk Download
can you please tell me how to download and make a boot disk?what kind of disk do i need?can i use a cd-r disk?
Re: MS-DOS Boot Disk Download
And no, a CD-R probably would not work. If your to try though, might I suggest using a cd-RW, so as to not waste an entire CD on a 218k-919k file.

this is a good point .... why ".img" for such such a small file ????
when what most people need is a simple zip or rar with the raw files inside so a usb pen boot utillity can find and make use of said files
after a simple exstraction. The ".img" file is kind of an overthink ??? .... the reson for usb pen boots is because very few computers come with a floppy drives chossing to put card readers in there place .... so a self exspanding ".exe" is pointless to the key to common scence is to keep the process simple
Re: MS-DOS Boot Disk Download
is the system file hal.dll? thats happened to me too. easiest way is to reinstall windows. ask your computer company to reinstall windows. depending on how your computer company does it they may need to buy another disc with windows on it. thats fine as long as the disc has Service Pack 2 or Service Pack 3 included (those are special files included with windows which irons out bugs in windows programming) so you dont have a hard time when you get the pc back. any help required please reply to my message.

thanks for this page!
I know, it's free (of charge) and all, but may I second this opinion:
> okay, so this if fine if you have a windows box. I don't so how about
> providing a .img file as well?
that would be most cool, really.
thanks again,

Re: MS-DOS Boot Disk Download
Windows Vista has no recovery console, no MININT and simply no other recovery functionality, except booting from the original DVD and starting the recovery mechanism from there. If this is your case, it really looks like you're stuck with that... I suggest you contact ASUS for a solution.
There is simply no other way to create boot disks other then using the original DVD.
Re: MS-DOS Boot Disk Download
I guess that this might solve your problem: http://www.svrops.com/svrops/articles/winvistare.htm
These are detailed instructions to add the Windows Vista Recovery Environment to the F8 Startup options. Tried it myself and works like a charm.
Note that these instructions are not for the faint-hearted or inexperienced but this is the supported way of getting this to work.
Re: MS-DOS Boot Disk Download
therell never be a vista boot floppy cos floppys are ancient now. if you want to complain id suggest contact microsoft direct.
Re: MS-DOS Boot Disk Download

Re: MS-DOS Boot Disk Download
The .exe files are self-extracting archives, which automatically write the boot disk to a floppy. I originally created these disks as a WinImage .exe to make it as easy as possible to create a boot disk. But VMWare/VirtualPC is huge now, so most people are using these disks for virtualization projects. This is one reason why I'm working on providing the .img file for each disk - but I've gotten sidetracked with work stuff!
In the meantime, you can download an ISO image of DOS, and attach that to your virtual machines as a Virtual CD-ROM disc.

Re: MS-DOS Boot Disk Download
I'm trying boot a VM boot with the isos os DOS, but I receive a message error
No bootable CD, floppy or hard disk was detected.
To install an operating system, insert a bootable CD or floppy and restart the virtual machine by clicking the Reset button.

Re: MS-DOS Boot Disk Download
I know this is completely noobish- but I'm totally confused about writing and running the boot disks from CDs, given that the .exe files all request a floppy disk. Any pointers?

Where ARE the files??
All you pages say "pick the file you need" - i can't see any downloadable files!
Re: MS-DOS Boot Disk Download
oh - i had to ENABLE JS from noscript to see them! this is superbly crappy web design! all page content should be available without js/java/flash as a pure html/xhtml, as the w3c recommendations say!
Re: MS-DOS Boot Disk Download
Superbly crappy - or superbly wonderful?
I'm not sure I would call this bad design - perhaps bad architecture...
In any event, you figured out the secret and hopefully got the file(s) you needed.

That's correct, and all my HTML & JavaScript books say so too.
