Sample usage of a harddisc image in DOSBOX

Hello folks,
thanks for redirecting, although i followed mirekluza exact same method made 10MB with Disk Image Creation Tool, and kept all the there DISK 1,DISK 2,and DISK 3. And kept in a d:\dosbox\ and followed this cmd line.
[code]
mount d: d:\dosbox
imgmount c d:\c.img -size 512,63,16,20 -fs fat
boot -l c [/code]

2STEPS MENTIONED BY mirekluza Do you want to create a floppy disk image or a hard disk image?
3Please type hd or fd. [hd] hd
4
5Enter the hard disk size in megabytes, between 1 and 32255
6[10]
7
8I will create a hard disk image with
9cyl=20
10heads=16
11sectors per track=63
12total sectors=20160
13total size=9.84 megabytes
14
15What should I name the image?
16[c.img]
17
18Writing: [] Done.
19
20I wrote 10321920 bytes to (null).
21
22The following line should appear in your bochsrc:
23ata0-master: type=disk, path="c.img", cylinders=20, heads=16, spt=63
24
25
262. I put the HD image (c.img) together with an image of a bootable floppy (msd60.ima) into the directory d:\dosbox on my disc.
27
283. Then I went on with creating of a patition on the disc. I started DOSBOX with the following lines:
29
30mount d: d:\dosbox
31imgmount 2 d:\c.img -size 512,63,16,20 -fs none
32boot d:\msd60.ima [/B]

Check the screen shots, how do i boot the DISK 1 from DOSBOX.
Any direction,,,someone who has already installed MS-DOS 6.22.
I would really make a picture TUT regarding Installing MS-DOS 6.22 in DOS-BOX. Hell their are not enough TUT or talks for this, some direction would be great. I cant help myself,since i m not a programmer,,,
But i really want to h' MS-DOS 6.22 is DOSBOX, its something every Windows users must h' since its built around/above DOS,,,and not having MS-DOS any version is at least a must h' for me.

😢

look at your pictures again (file names)

Well its asking for second disk:

1mount d: d:\dosbox
2imgmount 2 d:\dosbox\c.img -size 512,63,16,20 -fs none
3boot d:\dosbox\disk1~1.ima 

First disk booted ,and asks for second disk, entering wont work, so i had to press Ctl+Alt+Del then gave boot d:\dosbox\disk1~2.ima
Its says non-system disks ,press any key to continue...how do i beat that.

try boot d:\disk1~1.ima
or boot -l d

or boot -l d

Not working copied all three Disk ima to root d: still doesn't work....

Their really should be a TUT for this:(

read dosbox's manual

Yes i m going to use DOS-BOX primarily for dos games and for ms-dos only. i really pressed and running out of ideas.

If successfully install MS-DOS 6.22, I could run Office 3 with my Windows 3.11 correctly on my DOSBox?

yes

Hey any one installed MS-DOS call me lazy , but even giving this cmd didn't work:
BOOT [diskimg1.img diskimg2.img .. diskimgN.img] [-l driveletter]

🙁
First disk booting, 2nd disk wont boot .

maybe use file names without tildes
boot works on local files. so you need full names

d:\disk2~1.ima not disk2~1.ima
d:\disk3~1.ima not disk3~1.ima

I see the difference between this and the screenshot above. 😉

The cmd was working ie., BOOT [diskimg1.img diskimg2.img .. diskimgN.img] no need for -l d as described frm the manual:

Maybe it was a blind fluek or just i was lucky, i pressed Ctl + F4 and Alt + F4 and also Shift + F4 randomely and furiously and it then began to install.
May be its a DOSBOX buggy.

However i could not boot to the img file. As described in the TUT ie.,
mount d: d:\dosbox
imgmount c d:\c.img -size 512,63,16,20 -fs fat
boot -l c

But i can' tload the MS-DOS it say: missing Operating System:
Now whats with this: How do i load MS-DOS already installed.

may be this is really stupid question. the above may not be the actual cmd. But i m not able to load or mount that c.img i.e.,ms-dos finished installing but unable to load it.Hope someone understood.. can someone kindly suggest how do i do that. As i said this is the first time i m installing ms-dos on dosbox. i m so close yet so far, any suggestion please.

if you enter c: (without booting) and look around do you see dos folder and system files outside?
