If you still have it and need it, a generic DOS bootable disc (PCDOS or MSDOS) should work on most intel and intel compatible computers that are compatible with the original 8088/8086 PC architecture.
Some computer manufacturers extended the capabilities of their machine and supplied a customized version of a DOS bootable disc. In that case, it may be that the DOS disc may not work properly or at all on other computer models or that computer may not function with other vendors supplied versions of DOS
not if both of the computers have Internet access
Computers do not typically have a built-in format utility. You need to place a bootable disc with a partition editor and creator in your CD / DVD drive and boot from it.
You need to get a special program from the internet to create a bootable disc. I reccomend IMGburn which can be found at imgburn When you download and install it, run it and choose write image file to disc. Browse to your iso file and click start
No. An ISO image is a copy of the file system of any disc with an ISO9660 file system. It does not have to be a bootable image.
Download an ISO of the Mac OS CD, and then burn that ISO with Nero to the CD. It will be an exact copy of that disc. If the ISO was copied from a bootable CD then the copy you burn will be bootable.
DVD or bootable USB.
Need bootable disc in order to format the system disk.
I think you can only use a windowsbootable floppy disc for the system in which it was made from.
The installation CD of the new OS should be bootable. Boot the computer with the disc in, and choose to install the OS. It should give you an option to clean install, and format.
I want to install Win XP (2001 ver) without service pack but my system has already WinXP SP2 and when I insert the disc and click on setup it says "Setup cannot continue because the version of Windows on your computer is newer than the version on the CD." Now How can I install WinXP. My winXP CD is not bootable. My DVD writer is not working so I am able to make any bootable disk. My current version of XP is unable to start in safe mode with command prompt and i do not want to format my any of the drives?
The retail box version comes with an installation disc.
Assuming you mean for the PC, most good game stores should have it, like GAME.There is no disc version for XBox360 or PS3.
