PartCopy or bochs configuration failing in windows 7 (32 bit)

Question

I am trying to create a bootloader following this link the things i did are

1. create a vfd as per given and formatted it.

2. used partcopy partcopy Boot1.bin 0 200 -f0

3. then created a config file for bochs emulator.

while bochs emulator loading it is asking for config file when i provide it, emulator stops saying panic

And i also want to know how to know if partcopy is has copied data into floppy. As i try to open the floppy drive after the copy it says format to use( i presume the problem is partcopy only ) .

how can i fix it??

Answer 1

The problem was in configuration file of the bochs.

romimage:    file=BIOS-bochs-legacy, address=0xf0000
vgaromimage: file=VGABIOS-lgpl-latest

keep the rom image and vgaromimage in the same place as configuration file. it will work fine .
