CreateBootRecord
Version 33.00
July 14 1992
CreateBootRecord is designed to do just that, create a boot record on
an MS-DOS-like disk. MS-DOS version 1 disks and some MS-DOS-like
disks do not put a boot record in the very first sector. The boot
record tells CrossDOS how the disk is formatted. It tells such things
as the number heads, sectors per track, sectors per disk, number of
fat sectors, so on and so forth. Those disks without this boot record
usually have a format byte in the second sector to indicate what type
of format it is. The problem with this byte is that it is not always
reliable.
This program will to the best of its ability determine the format of
the disk in question and create a boot record so the disk can be
recognized by CrossDOS. Use this program as a last resort. We also
recommend that you copy the disk with "MDiskCopy" first so as not to
trash your original.
It can be operated from either Workbench or the CLI.
From Workbench, double-click on the "CreateBootRecord" icon then type
in the MS-DOS device name that contains the MS-DOS-like disk to be
fixed. Answer any questions presented.
From the CLI, type:
CreateBootRecord devicename
Answer any questions presented.
