Creating bootable zip disk

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,

I'm trying to create a bootable 750MB Zip disk which I can use to test
out different kickstart configurations. I downloaded the first CD ISO
image for FC5 and transferred it to the zip disk using 'dd', like so:

dd if=FC5-xxx.iso of=/dev/hda

I confirmed that the files were all on the disk and then I set the BIOS
to boot from the internal ATAPI Zip 750 drive, and restarted the
computer. 

On boot, I could hear the Zip drive being accessed and the LED came on,
however, it stopped after a while and continued booting from the HDD. 

I checked the Zip disk again, and the files that should be there are
there.

Can someone help me out? Is there a special operation I have to do to
make the Zip disk bootable?

Thanks in Advance!
