Title: How to make from bootable CD any bootable partition?
Post by: MIRKOSOFT on April 30, 2018, 06:18:25 PM

Hi!

I own bootable CD with operating system OS/64.
It boots, startup and then access first FAT32 partition.
I want to create partition where I copy files from CD and then make it bootable.

But how? Exist any tool?

I used earlier ISO to VDI by VBox, then Qemu Copy to convert to VMDK and after VMDK2Phys - it created partition,but after booting it hangs and cannot work 'cause partition format is ISO... so this is no way - of course trying VMDK on VMware was success - it boots and works - but VM is not real machine.

Can anybody explain it me?

Thank you for all.

CD has no installer - it works like live CD.

Yes, I asked for Vista installing to FAT32 filesystem.

It's same botebook.

About CD:
It is small tiny live OS - running from CD.
I need only copy files to FAT32 patition and make partition bootable.
I don't know if it can boot when are there only copied files, here's root directory:

ut 05 12 2017  07:23    <DIR>          BOOT
ut 05 12 2017  07:23             2˙048 BOOT.CAT
               1 File(s)          2˙048 bytes
               1 Dir(s)               0 bytes free

and BOOT directory:

ut 05 12 2017  07:23    <DIR>          .
ut 05 12 2017  07:23    <DIR>          ..
ut 05 12 2017  07:23    <DIR>          GRUB
ut 05 12 2017  07:23           526 503 OS64KERN.BI
               1 File(s)        526 503 bytes
               3 Dir(s)               0 bytes free
