(I also often convert to Mahalito format and use Mahalito to write disks on my actual PC-98 machine instead. Then use Disk Copy Utility on your XP machine to write the DCU image to a disk. Use Virtual Floppy Image Converter to convert the disk image to DCU format. When used in connection with 5.25 inch floppy disks, the disk capacity is 1.4 MB before the disk is formatted. When formatted for IBM, the disks are 1.44 MB. When used in connection with 3.5 inch floppy diskettes, the disk capacity is 2.0 MB before the disk is formatted. Here's what I usually do in order to write an fdi or fdd image to a real floppy disk: The term DS/HD means double sided high density. This is a very novice-friendly utility that includes both a.

If you want to make a bootable dos floppy, then you need to boot from your existing dos floppy, put a blank floppy in the other drive, and then enter the dos command 'format : /s'.

You can't just copy files over to another disk and expect it to boot. I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to do.
