<h2 align="center">Creation of a DOS BOOT floppy</h2>
<h3>If you have already a DOS Boot disk</h3>
<p>Fine. Just use it - Snapshot will run on any DOS. Just copy SNAPSHOT.EXE to
the disk and use it.</p>
<h3>If you are using&nbsp; Windows XP</h3>
<p>You can create a DOS Bootdisk by formatting a floppy with the Option 'MS-DOS
Bootdisk creation'.<br>
Windows XP will create a floppy, containing a (very limited) subset of Windows
ME.</p>
<h3>If you have SNAPSHOT installed</h3>
<p>
Snapshot SETUP has created a shortcut in the start menu
</p>
<p>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Programs-&gt;Snapshot Disk Imaging-&gt;Create
Disaster Recovery Disk.
</p>
<p>
Click this to create a bootable FreeDOS disk, including&nbsp; PnP network access
to your Windows server (see below).
</p>
<p>
If you bought the full version, you got a CDROM, which is bootable as well. The
booted CD is equivalent to the diskette above.
</p>
<p>Properties:<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>
Always supported are FAT16, FAT32 und ATAPI CD-ROMs (the
<b>CDROM-Laufwerk </b>is as <b>W:</b>  installed)<span style="background-color: #C0C0C0">.</span>
</p>
<p>Due to limited available memory, you have to select on start, if you
additionally want to access local NTFS drives (for the image file location), or
want to find the image files on the Windows Network.
</p>
<h3> International Keyboard support</h3>
<p>When creating the recovery boot disk, Snapshot tries to detect the current
keyboard layout (of Windows). It then creates a file LANGUAGE.BAT on the
bootdisk, that is executed during boot and holds the statement</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; KEYB XX</p>
<p>where XX is the layout identifier to be loaded.&nbsp;<br>
Currently detected are English (US), United Kingdom (UK), German (GR), Swiss
German (SG), French (FR), Swiss French (SF), Portuguese (PO), Brazil (BR),
Russia (RU), Bulgaria (BG), Belgian (BE), Dutch (NL), Finnish (SU), Swedish (SV),
Italy (IT), Hebrew (HE), Norwegian (NO).<br>
You can get a list of all
supported layouts with&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A:&gt;KEYB /L</p>
<h3>Bootdisk with PnP support for the Windows&nbsp; Network/Samba</h3>
<p>This Bootdisk is derived from <b>Bart Lagerweij's&nbsp;</b>  <a href="http://www.nu2.nu/bootdisk/network"><b>Bart's
Network Boot Disk</b></a>.&nbsp;<br>
We changed it to be based on FreeDOS to avoid license issues.</p>
<p>This disk supports</p>
<ul>
  <li><b>automatic detection</b> of your network adapter&nbsp;</li>
  <li>to use DHCP or direct selection of your IP Address</li>
  <li>TCP/IP or NetBEUI</li>
  <li>Save of Profiles to be available on next boot (only on diskette)</li>
</ul>
<p>After starting the disk, you have to enter something like&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote>
<p>A:&gt; NET USE&nbsp;&nbsp; Z:&nbsp;&nbsp; \\Servername\\Share</p>
</blockquote>
<p>and restore the image files from Z:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>If you have a different Network adapter, go to <a href="http://www.nu2.nu/bootdisk/network#niclist"><b>Bart's Network
Boot Disk</b></a>.<br>
You will find ~100 supported drivers, which unfortunately don't fit all on a
floppy disk. Just copy the required driver XXXCARD.CAB into A:\LIB\NDIS, and
reboot.</p>
<blockquote>
  <p>We would like to hear from you, which drivers are missing; so we can place
  the most required drivers immediately into the delivered package.<a href="mailto:support@drivesnapshot.de?subject=SNAPSHOT-missing%20Network-driver&body=Hallo%0d%0a,we use the Network Card:">

<h3><a name="NTFSDOS"></a>NTFS Support for DOS</h3>
<p>If your image files are located on a NTFS volume, DOS isn't able to access
them by itself.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.sysinternals.com" target="_blank"><b>Sysinternals</b></a> 
 offers (besides a lot of different useful utilities) a&nbsp; <b><a href="http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/NTFSDOS.shtml">NTFSDOS</a></b> 
 driver for DOS; the read-only variant is free.</p>
<p>Please download NTFSDOS.EXE&nbsp; and copy it to&nbsp; A:\UTILS.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Due to License issues, we are not allowed to add it to our delivery package
(coming soon).<br>
</p>
<h3>UDMA Support for DOS</h3>
<p>Most motherboard don't support the fast UDMA mode for IDE drives in their
BIOS; therefore Disk transfer speed in DOS is limited to ~8MB/sec, which results
in a max. possible restore rate of 5MB/sec.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Modern hard disks could have a transfer speed of 50 MB/sec and more, if
accessed with UDMA.</p>
<p>UDMA will test it's functionality, and will not load, if it doesn't find compatible
hardware. Unfortunately, the test causes some (very few) main boards to hang, so
we can't load it automatically.</p>
<p>UDMA was developed by&nbsp; Jack Ellis - thanks for that :))<br>
