The Adaptec Easy CD Creator 4.xx / 5.xx (Deluxe) method

Preface:

Unlike in all the previous methods, with this method it's now unnecessary to patch the floppy image file.(jippee).

The steps.

1.Prepare a bootable floppy disk with the necessary files on it, such as:

  • FDISK.EXE
  • FORMAT.COM
  • SYS.COM
  • E-IDE CD-ROM DRIVER
  • SCSI CD-ROM DRIVER + ASPI-LAYER (for Adaptec based controllers)
  • MSCDEX.EXE
  • MOUSE DRIVER
  • HIMEM.SYS
  • EMM386.EXE
  • CONFIG.SYS
  • AUTOEXEC.BAT

Test this floppy if you have created a multi-boot configuration. !

2.Start Easy CD Creator Deluxe.
3.On the
CD Layout properties, select the Data Settings Tab.
4.Click on the
Bootable box and make sure the File system is set to ISO9660.
   (anything else is not possible, btw.)

6. Once you've clicked on OK, Easy CD Creator (ECDC) will
    read the floppy and automatically creates an image.
    This image needs no patching..

    by using the built-in explorer or with the standard Windows Explorer.

9. The last step is to Record the disk and you're ready.

The disk should be bootable from E-IDE and SCSI CD-ROM players.
