Hello everyone,

I've been reading the tutorials on the Wiki section of this website and I can't understand how to make a (.img) Floppy Image File which I can run on Bochs. I'm using Windows. I see the part of the tutorial where it says: I type type that on Cygwin and I get the following error:
I already have the stage1 and stage2 files on the same directory.

Please tell me how I can make this (.img) file so that I can run the kernel on Bochs Virtual Machine.

Thank You.

i finnaly got it to work, but win image will let you choose a boot sector. my winimage keeps deleting it self

Whaa??

What do you mean, keeps deleting itself?

Can anyone explain to me how they personally make their (.img) file of their kernel.bin?

Thank you very much.

I created an empty 1440 KB file named tbos.img, opened it in Virtual Floppy Drive, formatted it with FAT12, put my bootloader in place of the DOS bootloader that the floppy is formatted with, and then I can copy my kernel to the floppy with Windows whenever I build it.

Thank you very much.

How exactly do you do it? I visited the link you posted but I don't know about those programs. I have tried them all and still can't figure out how to make the (.img) file of my kernel.

thank you.
