About AllBootDisks ISO CD Images

I recently downloaded and used the ISO file "WIN98SE.ISO". It worked great and let me repair a hard disk problem on my computer which does not have a floppy drive. This was a few months ago. Recently I returned to Allbootdisks.com to see if this file was still available for a friend. I had the browser screen windowed. When the window is small the text on the right of the window does not show up. I thought that this site for Allbootdisks.com was broken. I then did a search using google for the file WIN98SE.ISO. I found 1000's of hits but they all referenced what appeared to be a 500 megabyte or so image of the Windows 98 SE operating system which is illegal.So it appears that there are two versions of the file WIN98SE.ISO on the internet. Is it possible for you to fix this file name issue so that a search for this file will not mistakenly reference the illegal copy?

Also perhaps the web site could do someething about the lost text when the browser is windowed. Thank you.

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.

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

your win98 withno ram drive gold and SE versions may be wrong. The file dates for SE say 1998 and for the gold version 1999

The basic with ram drive cd's are ok

Excellent and useful website. I wanted to install an MS-Dos 5.0 Upgrade version on a virtual server and i had no way to boot from a compatible diskette. So i found this website, which is magnificent, downloaded the appropriated boot disk and solve me the problem. Thanks a lot and keep it for a looooooong time!

Just to make sure before things go wrong:

Please beware when deciding to use this bootdisk: it contains the "old" version of fdisk which will damage harddrives larger than 64GB when used to partition etc your harddrive.

Note to the maintainer of this website: please read up on this site

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/263044

and include the updated version in the iso file (and probably in the non-iso files as well) in order to avoid major problems for some users.

Apart from that, i would like to take the opportunity to thank you for the excellent service you provide !

Kind regards

Hi, I have one question here.

I have been doing lots of searchings on how a XP bootable cd works, however, I only managed to find out if we are to make a XP bootable cd ourselves, the system will first load the command prompt, and we have to initiate the XP setup process manually by running x:\i386\winnt.exe.

Is there a way to make a XP bootable cd to load directly into the setup process without entering into the command prompt?

Thank you.

Great. Very useful.
I need to boot a notebook without windows that has a damage cdrom, and copy files from another computer in a lan. There is a DOS boot disk to do this? Or only using linux?
Thank´s!!

Chappy,
Please contact myself directly if you would like available
* IBM DOS 2.0
* IBM DOS 3.1
* MSDOS 3.2
ISO Bootable Image files as well for this Website.

Also, don't forget about "Intersvr & Interlnk" functionality too. On really hard pressed cases that can help when Laplink is not available. I have had to use it on several instances & it has always produced the desired effect. Obviously though I need an appropriate Bootable disk with those tools loaded to allow me to work with such dinosaurs & of course an appropriate “Laplink” type cable.

Will your bootable disks work for the following problem?

I recently ran 'disk sanitizer' form system bios---BIG MISTAKE. Prior to this, my laptop worked fine--figured I was doing some good by "sanitizing" the hard drive.

Now copmputer will not boot from any of my OEM cd's. I have tried numerous sites to try and find cd that could hopefully fix the problem. The error message states corrupt sys_disk.

Can any of your software assist me in returning computer to working state?

I recently d/l'ed the Win98 SE iso to help make a boot disk for norton ghost. I opened the iso in UltraISO and added ghost then burned it, but when it's done booting the ghost.exe file isn't there. If you put the CD in a working Windows machine it shows up in explorer. Any ideas?

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....

Great site.
I have a few questions
The msdos 6.22 cd boot disc does that automatically run smartdriv?
how can i modify it so it will automaticaly load a program when I boot with the disc say ghost?

FYI I am creating a boot disc i need mouse.exe smartdrv and ghost.exe to be loaded and run
is there anyway I can modify the boot disc to automaitcally load these programs?

I was cleaning off old programs from an old Toshiba Satellite ( XP Home). I guess I over cleaned because now it will not book. A winlogon.exe error comes up saying it cannot inf COMCTL32.dll then a next error says it is missing MSGINA.dll. Then it forces a restart and cycles through the same errors. I have tried to book in every safe mode possible but same thing. I don't know what to do!

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! :)

great site, but the comment of using original disks with later micro-soft products is going to be difficult since most systems no longer have the original disk,,

This is what I was searching for!
Great Site!
It would be nice to post some information about how to change the boot-images.
I burned the DOS6.22 on a CD which boots my computer, but the CD-ROM driver
will not recognize my drive.
When I saw the different cd.sys (1 to 4) I tried to change the entries in the config.sys,
but it's almost impossible to access and edit the boot image.
I tried 5 programs (Win-Iso, MagicIso, UltraIso, Iso commander and ImageBurn) that should
be able to change ISO images as well as boot images, but they aren't.
They will all extract the boot image to a *.wbt or *.bim file, but I couldn't find a way to handle these files.

What can I do?

Kind regards,
Jo

Jesus i think i messed up... not sure what to do. I have a Windows XP CD, but there was something wrong w/ ntdll.dll file and would not let me go to recovery or install Windows (booting w/ WinXP CD). And I was told I just need to copy the file from XP CD to /windows/system32, but I could not.. since while using windows I can't alter the file, and I do not have a floppy drive. And since I was planning to format my drive and install Windows XP... (its dumb, while booting w/ WinXP CD, it reads a dll from C drive and errors out)

So I tried downloading the WIN98SE_Bootdisk.iso and got to A:... so I did fdisk and formatted C:... and I think i messed up. It said it formatted a couple kilobytes @_@.. Now I can't get my computer to boot up with WinXP CD anymore.... How come the bootdisk only formatted couple kilobytes instead of 100gb??

Could anyone tell me what I can do to just.. format the dang C drive?

Thank You. ^_^

Chappy, have a project you might be interested in. Gigabyte has released a native DOS sata driver that detects SATA optical drives which support almost all major chipsets. How about a boot cd that will take you to a cd prompt for computers with SATA optical drives, probably the norm nowadays. You could then load in any cd you wished with bios flashing uitilites or whatever you liked. It's been ages since i've messed with DOS but i've been playing with the sata driver for the past few days. Making some progress but i'm getting stuck. Proably take you all of 10 mins :) Here's a link to the source files and driver usage. Please post back, this is killing me! Thanks! http://marktsai0316.googlepages.com/gcdromfordos

Hi,
I've been working on computers for over 20 years.
About a year ago I through away all my old Dos and Windows 3.0 thru windows 98 SE.
Then about a month ago I changed jobs and one of the machines there had a bad hard drive.
The computer was made in 1996 and has ISA cards in it. Well there is no upgrade for that now are they.
I some what fell into this site and let me tell you this is one of the best sites in the world!
Thank you so very much.
Keep this site up and going, don't every feel like it's not worth it because it is a life saver to me.
You all ROCK!

Thanks again!

THANK YOU!!!

Hi - I have just snapped (broken) the original WinXP Pro disk just as I was about to wipe clean my laptop and reinstall windows!!! Been searching on the net for downloads of the OS but no luck! Any ideas where I can geta copy from? I will be able to use my product key so it won't be illegal.

Cheers

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 :-)

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?

I know the option to make CD-Rom(Boot) in Nero but the problem is in Boot tab what option i will select and so on. I tried everything to make it Bootable when i tested, it's say's could'nt find NTLDR my Nero version is 6.6.1.15c.May i know the step to make a perfect Bootable to use in Desktop and Laptop.tnx

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.

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. ;)
