About AllBootDisks ISO CD Images

Free downloads of MS-DOS emergency startup boot disk and boot cd. These ISO CD-ROM images have been created to allow you to boot your computer from a CD for the purpose of repairing various issues.

The CD images are an exact copy of the boot diskette images. There is no advantage to using these ISO images over a diskette image. Some newer computers do not have a floppy drive installed, so these images allow for compatibility of newer machines.

These ISO images DO NOT contain any Microsoft operating system. You can not use these images to install Windows; they are for repair purposes only.

There are no ISOs for Windows NT, 2000, XP or Vista. If you need to boot from a CD to repair your Windows NT, 2000, XP or Vista computer, please use the original Windows installation CD, which is bootable.

To use this file, download it to your Desktop. Use a CD-burning program (Nero, Easy Media Creator) to burn this CD Image to a CD-R/CD-RW. Once the image has finished burning, turn on the computer you want booted and insert the CD into the CD-ROM drive. If the computer does not boot from the CD, restart and check your BIOS settings to ensure that the CD-ROM drive is listed before the hard disk in the boot order. For assistance with this, see the documentation from your computer manufacturer.

Re: About AllBootDisks disc images

You are a lifesaver ... ALL I needed was one stupid file (format.com) in the right "flavor" and of course I couldn't locate any of my Windows 98SE CDs or floppy boot discs. From your site I was able to get the one file I needed without a huge download!

BTW, I have used your CDs multiple times in past years as well. As always, they work just fine.

Thanks again for all your hard work.

Re: About AllBootDisks ISO CD Images

1) When I posted a comment to the How to burn a boot CD page it did not show up.

2) What version of Nero is in that picture on that page? I have v5 and I'm forced to finalize the CD.

3) How can I burn an ISO plus files to CD? Multisession with some version of Nero?

4) How can I access exe files to run on C:\ after booting with a DOS 6.22 boot CD or 98/ME.

Great site, thanks

Re: About AllBootDisks ISO CD Images

Hello AllBootDisks, You saved lot of my time. One of my friends asked me to fix his Windows ME system. I tried to boot with a few other solutions given in other websites but none worked. Then I came across your website through a google search. I used your ISO CD image to boot the system and reinstalled Windows ME. Everything is fine now.
Your website gives all the information in simple and easy steps required for the boot disks, which I have never seen in any other website.
I remember an advertisement on TV "DOES EXACTLY WHAT IT SAYS ON THE TIN".

KUDOS TO YOU....

Re: About AllBootDisks ISO CD Images

This site may just be the Holy Grail I've been looking for. Or Perhaps not. I've been trying to recapture my youth, downloading old abandonware games (www.the-underdogs.info), many of which will not run in windows at all, and dosbox doesn't seem to work either. Back in the good old days of Windows98 I could simply boot to a dos command prompt and all was well. Now I'm afflicted with XP, it all seems a bit more complicated. I've downloaded your dos6.22 boot disk (which came as an archived file not a .iso - does that matter?) and burnt it to a cd, tried to boot from it (bios settings all in order ie cd drive boot priority above hd) and just ended up in XP as normal. Can you help a frustrated gamer? Thanks muchly! :)

Re: About AllBootDisks ISO CD Images

Maybe if you try going to command.com [Start>Run>Type command.com or just command], it might work, otherwise, you can use a boot disk, go into command, put the [video game and MS-DOS] files on a FAT[12, 16, 32] Drive. If that doesn't work, maybe you can consider getting a USB Floppy Drive [If you don't have one].

Re: About AllBootDisks ISO CD Images

ok heres another way to get to the dos mode (i.e. command prompt ) in windows xp as soon as your system leaves the info screen showing the bios setting(s) and ect ect ....then keep hitting (pressing ) the F8 key you will see a little screen come up that say windows options or advanced windows options hit F8 1 more time and now you will see a ton of options ie --> windows normal mode; windows safe mode; safe mode with command prompt ect ect select the one that says command prompt.... Happy gaming ;-) from 1 gamer to another

Re: About AllBootDisks ISO CD Images

Re: About AllBootDisks ISO CD Images

can these cds recover passwords?

Re: About AllBootDisks ISO CD Images

I solve many problems with your great work!!

THANK YOU!!!

Re: About AllBootDisks ISO CD Images

First off, I spoke to MS when my Win98SE Ret. Disk became damaged, they in a nutshell told me download any iso and use any working key... so I don't know why people say the SE iso's are illegal since Ms support is directing us there, Ms has dropped all tech support on 98 (all versions), the XP disks are a different story, however in order to install a Ret. ver. of XP you need to enter the hard coded key that matches that particular disk to finish the install, so I'm not worried to much about people abusing those either. while there are in fact "hacks" to Xp, the WGAVS certainly handles most of them.

Devedger: many XP iso's out there, but you need a matching serial to install, then you need to call windows and walk through the changing product key and phone registry process, then you should talk to them about exchanging your broke genuine disk for a new one, good luck.

Hopefully I've addressed adequately the earliest posts and the last posts :-)

Re: About AllBootDisks ISO CD Images

I am having problems with my laptop. I get an error that states "windows 2000 could not start because Winnt\system32\config\system is either missing or corrupt." I need to download a boot disk of Windows 2000 to a cd rom from my desktop so I can boot up my laptop. Can you send me the site? I do not know how to work from Dos and that seems to be the only thing here?

Re: About AllBootDisks ISO CD Images

These are getting hard to find. Especially the .iso files. Thanks for putting these for us to reach. Hope u keep your server running and I have you bookmarked. I also use Bootdisk.com but they can be slow at times and your server was quick.

Re: About AllBootDisks ISO CD Images

No these disk cannot. If you are using Windows 2000 or XP You can make a bootable floppy to remove your old password. Here is a link I found may that help you. http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/Pub0009/LPMArticle.asp?ID=305
so if your a newbie this would help u. ;)

Re: About AllBootDisks ISO CD Images

I have a Dell 1520 running Vista, I want to boot BackTrack, a live cd , with my dvd/cd drive. I power up and hit f12 with the cd in but it continually goes to windows. Last spring I used a similar cd and did it successful. Any suggestions?

Re: About AllBootDisks ISO CD Images

I don't know anything about the prog you mention, but most bootables run by themselves, no need to press f12, BUT you must use F2 to go into bios and change BOOT to CD or USB or whatever you are using, then I also use F10 after that too, to make sure it boots from my media. Otherwise it will just bootup your normal system. Anyway, then after that put in your media you want to use & restart PC & it should load/run by itself if it's bootable.

Re: About AllBootDisks ISO CD Images

Can I put these files on a USB instead of a CD? I'm trying to make a USB DOS bootdisk and my computer isn't co-operating.

Exactly what I needed

Thanks for this great collection! I can't understand why so many people are questioning and criticizing (mostly on the other pages) such an excellently organized and free-to-use resource like this. Your effort is appreciated.

I'm going to download and burn several backups of these for those instances when I can't get online to download them. I'm currently trying to deal with a rogue .dll that's set up camp in my system startup. I've been unable to delete it since it is always "in use by a running program," even when I boot in safe mode to run diagnostics. Booting from a disc (which I don't have, because my computer was a cheap-as dirt-discounted floor model) is my only option, and you've just enabled me to do so.

Thanks much.

Re: About AllBootDisks ISO CD Images

My vote of thanks for an excellent resource. I have a Dell laptop with a built-in diagnostics partition. I needed to use all 4 partitions for my own projects, so have simply burnt the diagnostics onto an MS-DOS 6.22 bootable CD. Hey presto, job done.

If I ever meet you, I'll buy you a very large beer!!

Re: About AllBootDisks ISO CD Images

Hello,

I just got a hp pavilion ze 4610us from my sister and I had to change the hard drive but I need a restore disc, the service manual reads: Insert the Restore CD (or the Operating System) disk 1 into the notebook’s CD/DVD drive. My question is where can I get one? My sister has no idea what she did with the original, this computer is about 4 years old. Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Thank you

Re: About AllBootDisks ISO CD Images

I tried to download Windows 98 onto a CD I had, but it siad "Please insert a floppy disk." The problem is, my computer doesn't have a floppy disk drive. Then when I tried to use it on Virtual PC, it said "System disk error-replace or insert disk to continue." But I had a CD with the Windows 98 bootdisk on it. What should I do.
