A utility to mount hard disk and optical disc images in DOSBox.

Note: You can use Disk Explorer to copy files and folders to/from images (but not to delete them or DOSBox will consider the images corrupted! Read the aforementioned link for more info).

These are the Windows 95 boot disk images available from AllBootDisks. Download the diskette image you need, and if you need assistance creating a bootable diskette from this image, visit the how-to page. Thanks to Ed Jablonowski from Bootdisk.com for creating these disks. Microsoft’s Windows 95 operating system has been turned into an electron app that’s available to download and install on macOS, Windows, and Linux. Windows 95 is now an app you can download.

Command line parameters

IMGMOUNT DRIVE [imagefile] -t [image_type] -fs [image_format]
-size [sectorsbytesize, sectorsperhead, heads, cylinders -u DRIVE]

DRIVE
Drive name (letter) the image will use
  • a for the drive letter a: or
  • b for the drive letter b: etc..
imagefile
Location of the image files to mount in DOSBox. The location can be on a mounted drive inside DOSBox, or on your real disk. It is possible to mount multiple (e.g. '~/images/CD1.cue ~/images/CD2.cue [..] ~images/CDn.cue') optical disc images (ISOs or CUE/BIN) as well, if you need CD swapping capabilities specify all images in succession. The CDs can be swapped with CTRL-F4 at any time.
-t
The following are valid image types:
floppy
Specifies a floppy image or images. DOSBox will automatically identify the disk geometry (360K, 1.2MB, 720K, 1.44MB, etc).
iso
Specifies an optical disc iso image. The geometry is automatic and set for this size. This can be an iso or a cue/bin.
hdd
Specifies a hard disk image. The proper CHS geometry must be set for this to work.
-fs
The following are valid file system formats:
iso
Specifies the ISO 9660 optical disc format.
fat
Specifies that the image uses the FAT file system. DOSBox will attempt to mount this image as a drive in DOSBox and make the files available from inside DOSBox.
none
DOSBox will make no attempt to read the file system on the disk. This is useful if you need to format it or if you want to boot the disk using the BOOT command. When using the 'none' filesystem, you must specify the drive number (2 or 3, where 2=master, 3=slave) rather than a drive letter. For example, to mount a 70MB image as the slave drive device, you would type: 'imgmount 3 d:test.img -size 512,63,16,142 -fs none' (without the quotes). Compare this with a mount to read the drive in DOSBox, which would read as: 'imgmount e: d:test.img -size 512,63,16,142'.
-size
The Cylinders, Heads and Sectors specification of the drive. Only required to to create bootable hard disk images. This means it is not required for either loading a regular hard disk image or optical disc images.
-u
unmount an image.
  • e.g. if an disk image was mounted to be the disk drive a: type:
  • 'imgmount -u a'

Optical disc images

Loading an ISO image

An example in Windows

Other example in Windows (more than one image)

An example in Unix

Loading more than one image

It is possible to mount more than one image, and then switch between them using ctrl-f4Example in Linux:


Loading a CUE image

An example in Windows

An example in Unix

Note: make sure to use CUE and not BIN for Mixed Mode CDs

You can mount bin/cue type CD images with the IMGMOUNT command, and it will 'sort of' work if you specify the .bin file as the file to mount. However, it will not mount the audio tracks of the CD correctly if you do this. Specifying the associated .cue file will load all tracks correctly.

Note: you can mount CUE with an ISO for Mixed Mode CDs

It is also possible to use a cuescheet in combination with an ISO and compressed audio tracks in OGG or MP3 format.

Didn't understand the '512,63,16,142' part?

All you really need to know is that the formula is always:

X is the number of 'cylinders' in the image. It's based on the image's size. If you create the image through Bochs, then it would tell you the number of cylinders.

If you want to understand a little more, here's a more detailed explanation than the official one on the numbers.

Now, let's say you created a 70M image using the bximage program from Bochs. You will then get the following details:

You don't actually need to know the total numbers of sectors, other than to calculate the sector size (in bytes):

Now you have all you need.

Start the line with 512 and then add the 3 first parts in reverse order. In other words:

imgmount ... -size 512,63,16,142

  • Here's a tip: the first 3 numbers should always be the same. So all you really need is the cyl=X. In other words, it should always be:

imgmount ... -size 512,63,16,X

  • Only the X changes, according to the size you specify when you create the image.

That wasn't so hard, was it? ;-)

Loading a regular hard disk image

Example

Bootable hard disk images

Format the partition with 'format'

Start DOSBox again and type:

Exit DOSBox.

The hard disk image is now bootable! See Loading a bootable hard disk image.

Loading a bootable hard disk image

From now on, whenever you want to boot from drive C:, start DOSBox and type, for example:

I don't plan on having very many files available for download, but the ones I will have available, will be placed here. Every file here has been scanned by Norton Anti-virus, and while I believe them to be totally virus free, I make no guarantee. If you're paranoid, don't download anything from here!

PuterGeek.Com offers three e-mail lists (or newsletters):

  • A casual newsletter that goes out 1-5 times per month. It contains excerpts and articles from all the newsletters I read condensed down to a manageable size. Plus info about PuterGeek.Com, as well as various tips and tricks I've learned.

    One of InfoJump's Top Five rated Computer Publications (so far this year)!

  • This list is told when I'm going to be home (so they can call me for help). I send out info that doesn't make it into the newsletter, as well as geek stuff that is of more interest to the power-user. This list is very casual. The format is like a regular email and is sent out very randomly. It might be multiple times per day or once in 3 weeks..in other words, there is no schedule at all. The ONLY way to get on this list is to become a PuterGeek.Com Sponsor.
  • This list gets email from both Amy and Peter Crockett. It will only be maintained until we get off the road. This list is ultra casual. It might be only 2 sentences or three paragraphs in length. You might get four emails in a day or nothing for a week. On this list we talk about our daily life on the road as truck drivers, problems, wonderful sights, frustrations, and basically whatever we want to say. There can be mild profanity, so this list is NOT for kids!

These lists are 100% OPT-in! The lists are completely separate, and the emails are never sold, traded, or given out to ANYONE! You can unsubscribe at any time. Just click on the link to get more info on each list.

Here is a MS-DOS 6.22 boot disk image with a generic CD-ROM driver. This should provide real mode CD-ROM support for most IDE CD-ROMs.

This image can be used when formatting and re-installing MS-DOS 6.22, Win95, and Win95A. Need more info about the different versions of Windows 95? Click here .

NOTE: This image only provides FAT16 support. If you want FAT32 support get the Win95B bootdisk image. Need more info on FAT16 and FAT32? Click here .

To use this image simply click here to download it, then just double-click it and follow the instructions. It will ask you to put a new floppy disk into your floppy drive, then it will format the disk, and copy the bootdisk image to it.

When done, I suggest that you immediately test your new bootdisk to make sure it works properly and can read a CD.

Msp430 uart receive interrupt. Now I will show you the example of how to send data through uart serial communication of MSP430 microcontroller. In this example, we are sending data from MSP430G2 lanuchpad to laptop through serial communication. We are receiving data on serial monitor of Energia IDE.

NOTE: If you have an anti-virus program running while you create your boot disk you *may* get a false alarm as the image recreates the master boot record (MBR) on the floppy disk. This is normal.

Here is a WinME Startup Disk image. I have made no changes to it. It provides CD-ROM support for most CD-ROMs.

This image can be used when formatting and re-installing WinME. This image provides FAT32X support.

To use this image simply click here to download it, then just double-click it and follow the instructions. It will ask you to put a new floppy disk into your floppy drive, then it will format the disk, and copy the Startup Disk image to it.

When done, I suggest that you immediately test your new Startup Disk to make sure it works properly and can read a CD.

NOTE: If you have an anti-virus program running while you create your boot disk you *may* get a false alarm as the image recreates the master boot record (MBR) on the floppy disk. This is normal.

NOTE: A WinME startup disk can NOT SYS (transfer the system files needed to boot) a hard drive or a floppy!
If you need or want this ability, I suggest using a Win95B bootdisk instead. If you plan to use method ONE
on my WinME install page you will have to use a Win95B bootdisk!

Have you heard of Felix? You know, the cat that people send via email? Felix is a small program that creates a cat that wanders around on your 'puter screen. It's a clean APP (just one file), The first time you double-click on it, it installs itself in c:program filesScreenMates. If you want it to run on startup, simply right-click on Felix and choose 'run on startup' If you ever want to get rid of Felix all you have to do is delete (make sure to uncheck 'run on startup first') the folder you made.

On my 'puter Felix uses about 2% of CPU resources, and about 300K of memory. It has not caused any problems with any other software I have. Nor any conflicts with any running programs. When you're working Felix stays out of your way too. This is a cute, safe, and fun little free program.

Here's the website that makes Felix. http://www.adtoolsinc.com/products/screenmates_frame.htm They have some other ones as well.
