Create a free https://archive.org/ account and archive your finds there. That's what a majority of people do. It's an excellent resource for hard to find data. I just started mine as well, only has a few things on it at the moment, until I have time to start going through all my disks. :) REMOVED …

The same Clonezilla CD you burn to create an image / backup of your disk drive(s) can be used to restore such backup. I just did that by the way, I restored the image you see on the last 'screenshot' to a different drive. So, I now have all my DOS games exactly the same in both the K6 machine and …

So this essentially saves a folder backup that can be stored and restored by running CZ again. Then if you want to create a bootable installer ISO, it's another step. There are better options if you're willing to remove the HDD every time to backup with another PC driving, but this is good for same …

I think he means in Windows 10 and Windows 11 you still can write batch files. There is still the possibilty to call sub-routines with a "CALL" command. well …

Conversely you could have appended CD\ to the last line in liveinit.bat No. What's hapenning is that he's diverting execution to LIVEINIT.BAT, so once that batch file is done, execution won't return to Autoexec. All commands after LIVEINIT.BAT will be skipped. Only CALL LIVEINIT.BAT can fix this …

Not sure if this is the right place, but I noticed an oddity with the "Report this post" option. It only shows on my posts but not anyone else's. This would seem to be profoundly pointless, as why would I want to report my own posts? Surely, if it was to be there at all, it should be on everyone …

What about scratch removal? Is there a separate post for that? We're well past the twilight for fixing scratched CDs and I was wondering what the best home method was. Is there a suggested cleaning device?

I don't really have any other thoughts or input here, it may be a lost cause. Ironic that I'm spending all this time to play a game from 30+ years ago that probably wasn't very good and I'll only play for a couple minutes!
