ExtrasImagesCreateFromFolder

Create image file from folder content

In this dialog you can create floppy disk images from the content of any hard disk folder.

• Image type
  From this box you can choose whether to create a floppy or a harddisk image. Floppy images will be 1.44MB sized, harddisk images will be sized to be big enough for the files to be copied to the image (plus 5MB).
• Make image bootable
  If this option is activated, DFendX will transfer the FreeDOS boot files to the disk image and will create a bootsector for making it bootable. (For using this option you will need to have FreeDOS installed. You can configurate the path a you FreeDOS installation on the FreeDOS page of the program options dialog.)
• Use DOSBox default keyboard layout
  If this option is activated, DFendX will also transfer the keyboard driver to the disk image and will add a line to the autoexec.bat file to activate the keyboard layout which is defined as default for the current DFendX program language.
• Include mouse driver
  If this option is activated, DFendX will transfer the mouse driver to the disk image and will add a line to the autoexec.bat file to activate it.
• Use memory manager on disk image
  If this option is activated, the memory management tools himem and emm386 will be copied to the disk image and activated, so there is more free conventional memory for running programs.
• Add disk management utilities
  If this option is activated, utilities for creating partitions, formating and checking drives will be added to the disk image.
• Add text editor
  If this option is activated, a text editor will be transfered to the image.
• Write image file to real floppy after creation
  If this option is activated, the floppy image will be written to a real floppy disk after creation.
