The one I linked above uses slightly more memory than the size of the disk itself because it is just writing to memory locations and ignoring all the metadata. The windows gui will only let you pick the file formats it thinks are your best options.ĭoing some more research on a variety of these emulators, there appear to be several methods in use to encode the different disks. Rufus ( Rufus - Create bootable USB drives the easy way) is a good program for testing out various formatting options on a drive. Worth a try, although it may not apply to your situation.ĬhipThe FAT16 vs FAT32 is something that is likely to trip you up as well. It will only accept smaller drives (I think 2 gig or less) and must be formatted as FAT (16, though not labeled as such) rather than FAT-32 or NTFS. This may speed up the boot-up sequence by skipping the check for boot files in your USB flash drive.I have an industrial-type single-board computer running a DOS variant that does USB drives. If you do not intend to boot off your USB flash drive, it is recommended that you set this BIOS feature to HDD. The BIOS will not check it for boot files. When set to Force HDD, the USB flash drive will be treated like a hard disk drive, even if it is smaller than 530 MB in size.
This is useful for installing operating systems off bootable USB flash drives. This setting is used to force a HDD-formatted drive to boot as a floppy disk (e.g.
When set to Force FDD, the USB flash drive will emulate a bootable floppy disk drive. USB flash drives larger than 530 MB in size will be treated like hard disk drives. When set to Auto, USB flash drives that are less than 530 MB in size are automatically emulated as floppy disk drives. Of course, it only comes into effect if you have a USB flash drive plugged into your computer's USB port when it boots up. This BIOS feature determines if the USB flash drive should be treated as a floppy disk drive or a hard drive. Common Options : Auto, Force FDD, Force HDD
