   Welcome to Bootdisk.Com

The majority of tips, tweaks, files, bootdisks, instructions, utilities, links, patches, updates, and all other information contained on this site are posted for experienced DOS and Windows users.

I favor non-invasive applications. Keep in mind tho that some of the best non-invasive programs can also be some of the most powerful.

Any boot disk you need can be found here for free.

Certain browsers and/or websites that I link to require that you hold down your Shift key when you click on a file you want to download.

Most of the bootdisk files are self extracting images of bootable floppies. After you download the image file, insert a BRAND NEW floppy disk in your A: drive and click on the file to make the disk.

NT and XP bootdisks often come in sets. You first have to download the set, then most often click on the file to extract the individual images, then click on each image to make each disk in the set.

No matter which site you find them at, my custom bootdisk.com disks have 4 cdrom drivers on them. If the default cd1.sys driver does not find your cdrom then just change config.sys to use cd2.sys etc. My custom disks always name your primary cdrom drive letter R:

Windows OEM bootdisks load basic tools like format, etc to a ramdrive. Watch the last line it will say "The diagnostic tools were loaded to your drive E:" or similar. Go there to find the tools.
