Dear masters:

My question is :[how can I run HDD REGENERATOR  from a CD?]
By using WINIMAGE I made an image of the floppy disk which was created by the program;so i now has the floppy image.
When I tested the image by VIRTUAL PC and found it ok 100%.
When I made a bootable cd using this image the boot image,and burn the cd,i got the following message on running the cd:
[STARTING WINDOWS 98 ....
A:\HDDREG.EXE
GENERALFAILURE WRITING DRIVE A [SOMETIMES I GOT :\"WRITING PROTECT ERROR WRITING DRIVE A\"
ABORT ,RETRY,FAIL?]

Please help me .
I want to use this image in a collection of other programs by using BCDW[BOOTABLE CD WIZARD; http://bootcd.narod.ru

You are going to have to create a RAM drive and copy the contents of the disk image to
the ram drive and run the .exe from the ram drive.

the reason you are getting errors is that the system is trying to write data back to the A: drive and in this
case your A: drive is actually a CD running in emulation mode.

Do a search in Google on \" Creating Ram Drives\" for furthet info.

Hope this helps.
