However, the license issue will remain with you. Also, you will find directions for creating your own bootable ISO image (how to add the system boot files IO.SYS, etc.). So I'm going to leave this question open, just in case somebody does figure out the MS-DOS dodge, but thank you for the whack upside the head - now I can progress with the project!Īt, you will find ISO images that are bootable DOS. If I try to convert the "compressed" ISO image that I downloaded to "read/write", OS X says there's no readable file system on the resulting image and refuses to mount it (although it mounts the original read-only ISO image just fine).Īnyway, I was going to go on and on about how much trouble we've had getting this program to run on XP boxes and how it would be a fool's errand to even try it on a Fusion XP VM.until I tried it and it worked (blush). (Anyone who recognizes what I'm talking about there is either quite the geek or is quite the OLD! Or both.)

While Disk Utility converts from ISO to DMG (allowing me to mount it and drag in new files via Finder), and then the DMG back to ISO or CDR.the resulting final image doesn't have the magic boot sector it's as if I did a DOS COPY command and forgot the /SYS command-line argument.
