oscardog Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I found doslfn http://www.geocities.com/jadoxa/doslfn/ along with unrar http://www.rarlab.com/rar_add.htm using Cwsdpmi.exe http://clio.rice.edu/cwsdpmi/ very handy when i squeezed a network enabled win9x onto two and a bit floppies.Autoexec.batxmsdsk.exe 20000 w: /y /t /c2Cwsdpmi.exemd W:\mindowscopy command.com W:\mindowsset COMSPEC=W:\mindowscopy autoexe1.bat w:w:\autoexe1.batAutoexec1.batcopy Mindows3.rar w:@Echo Please insert Disk 1pausecopy Mindows1.rar w:@Echo Please insert Disk 2pausecopy Mindows2.rar w:@Echo Please Boot Diskpausea:\doslfnw:a:\unrar x -o+ w:\Mindows1.rarAll the above freeware, I did find a higher compression utility but cannot find it at the minute.Hope some of this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janus zeal Posted August 7, 2006 Author Share Posted August 7, 2006 (edited) Thats Perfect! do you think it would work for an entire windows 98 install + apps? and it does support LFNs, right? (i know there is a dos lfn tsr there, but will unrar support it?) Edited August 7, 2006 by janus zeal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda43 Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Norton's Ghost 2003, which is what I use for all my disk imaging, will copy, with compression, any hard drive no matter what OS is on it.It will backup an NTFS drive as easily as a FAT-32 drive.Andromeda43 B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
