Does anybody know a way to create a bootable floppy for PC Doc Service Center 7.5?  We would like to make floppy image to include on our bootable diag cd and also have a floppy for older systems.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Kirk Miller

Problem solved!  Since PC-Doctor uses Caldera Dr Dos instead of msdos the bootcode is looking for different files than the usual suspects (io.sys, msdos.sys, etc.).  I was able to find a boot disk based off of Caldera here: http://digi.rpc1.org/dos.htm.
From there I read the disk created with the downloaded file and used Winimage to create an .ima file.  I changed the disk format to 2.88MB and copied all the files off the usb dongle to the .ima file created in Winimage.  Works like a champ!

mille535,

Gotta love it when a tech answers his own questions.  Good job!
