How to Make a Pre-Boot DOS Disk into a Boot-Disk ?

[DH]

Hello,

I have CheckIt PE version 7 which consists of two floppy disks, an
application disk, and a documentation disk. The application disk does
not contain an autoexec.bat, a config.sys, nor a .exe file. Instead it
has a binary chldr.sys file that is said to load the main module, and
an ASCII chkcmd.sys that contains the single word checkit. The main
module is the binary file checkit.sys.


The manual calls this a "pre-boot" floppy version as opposed to a
16bit DOS boot version, yets talks about inserting the boot-disk and
starting from there. It does not explain how to get the pre-boot
version running. If I insert the application disk it is not recognised
as a boot-disk.

Is there a way to create a boot disk from the application disk ?

Thank you,

D.Hughes

Tech. Support for eSupport.com gave much of the answer. This is a
boot disk however it does not boot into DOS and so does not need
autoexec.bat, config.sys etc. It automatically boots its own
operating
system.


This disk did work before on an earlier computer. The disk is not
know recognized as a system disk on the Soyo KT880 Dragon 2 V2.0
computer and will not boot. I created a bootable CD version from the
floppy disk however this gives the same error, so I do not think that
the floppy drive is at fault.
