The bs-option was not always there and also with different values. I looked for some information on how to put the image on a floppy and found that I need to to something like: Code: Hmm I did take a look at before but I didnt see the non-exe images at first.

Oh, but MSDN and TechNet only provide floppy disk images (IMG files) for the upgrade versions of DOS 6.22. This was back in the days when Windows ran on top of DOS though, so I needed to install DOS 6.22 first. Ooo, I already have Windows 8 running in a virtual machine. I started off looking at my MSDN account for a copy of Windows 98 to install some old software (compatibility mode under Windows 7 didn’t work), and noticed the only versions of Windows available are 7, 8 and….
