does anyone know if there is a way to relaunch cdshell once you have been kicked to dos? for example, if i run free fdisk to setup up a drive and decide i may want to run a drive test after fdisk, fdisk will quit to dos once finished, is there a way to bring up cdshell again to go through the menus?

I have looked through the forums for cdshell....lots of info there but nothing that seems to pertain to this

Thanks

cant be done...once you have booted a disk, or image file, cdshell ceases to function, you would need to restart your machine...the reason is because cdshell is only meant to be a loader and not a full os such as dos, windows, so forth and so on...so once it loads said image, cdshell is finished and closes. Depending on what youre trying to do...combine fdisk and format to the disk you are trying to get cdshell to load - this is easily done with winimage

Thanks, I see what you mean, makes sense now.

Didnt think of combining images that way. I guess you would just "inject" the appropriate files then.
