- I've never really used the OS/2 feature of booting dos
- from an image, but I'm trying it out now. I can
- get the image to start okay, but everytime, I do,
- I can't write anything to the disk that the image is
- on.
-
- For example:
-
- (1) I make an image from a DOS disk in drive A: (without all
- that FSFILTER stuff because I don't need access to the HPFS
- partition) and stick it on my FAT partition D:.
-
- (2) I boot up the image and the prompt says A:\, so I
- switch to the (now) drive C: which is actually drive
- D: to OS/2.
-
- (3) I do some disk access that requires writes to disk.
-
- (4) I get a general write failure
-
- If I just open a DOS window from OS/2, everything is dandy,
- so what do I do to allow writes to the drive that the
- image is on?
-
- Thx
