You can use the form on this page to create a bootdisk image for a floppy or a CD. Burn a boot CD image and you should be good to go. More instructions are on the site.

How may I bypass the need to make a bootable disk, the reason why I can't make one is because my COMPAQ Presario PC is the only PC I ever bought that did not feature a 3.5" Floppy Drive on it. Instead, it features the regular CD-RW/DVD drive and a media card dock(which accepts the mainstream cards like CF Cards, SONY Memory Sticks, SmartMedia cards abd MMC/SD cards). How do I get past this barrier to using BeOS 5 PE?

Since 500mb is far too small for me to do anything useful with BeOS, I'm trying to make the image bigger. I followed the tutorial at http://www.betips.net/chunga.php?id=510 and it worked fine up until the part where I had to mount the file. When I mounted it, it immediately showed up on the desktop (which it should have) and I was able to access it for a very short time from within terminal. However after about ten seconds, the system would more or less completely lock up. My hard drive light would be on constantly and nothing would load. I let it be for about five minutes and it still did this. Is there any way around this? I think it may have something to do with the fact that there's only about 60mb free on the beos "partition" (which I can do nothing about.) I also can't install any of the other distros because the laptop's cd drive is FUBAR and I really don't feel like repartitioning it.

with PE for Linux, you can extract the necessary files from the archive.
you can check http://mmadia.zelect.org for pre-made boot images.
also, http://betips.net will have some more details on making a bootable cd.

Inorder for PE to run on my Dell 660m i know i need to create a boot cd as i got no floppy. I read that I need floppy boot file and main image file and burning software these were 3 things mentioned in one of the posts. Now question is can i download the floppy boot file and main image file. I've download the BeOS developer edition but I wanna get my PE running to. Any help or suggestions are appreciated with links to create a boot cd for BeOS PE.

There used to be a way on betips.net. Dunno where that is.
Anyway to make a pe to cd you will need basically three things.
One is a floppy image, two is the main image and three is a way to get windows to burn the CD using nero.
To save you time I will suggest that you download the German Developers Edition from beosonline dot com. They have fixed a few things that PE needed anyway. The same instructions apply. The boot image, main image and what they call a .cue sheet. The cue sheet is an instruction to nero cd burning app on how to deal with the beos files. The other easy way is to use a Max distro with does the same thing but I think has just a few bugs. The beos online is much more stable and you can always download more stuff anyway.
If you still wish to make a PE cd then use the same three things. Get a file of the boot floppy, the copy of the main beos image file and a copy of the cue sheet and burn it in nero. The main image of beos PE is the file image.be. You might have to make a bootfloppy and use cat > dev/floppy/(I forget the rest but see betips.net) to image and then use that as the so called track one.

Normally when booting some versions of linux it has a critical bios error but keeps loading and ignores it....
BeOS Pro and PE don't ignore it but can be made to...
When BeOS starts loading with the screen with the icons lighting up from left to right press space bar (before it loads the blank grey or blue backgroud..
Then select Do Not Call The Bios.
I think it is under the second option.
Then return to main menu and continue booting and it will boot

im using LILO to do this... I got tired of trying my hand @getting beosmax working. now i left a 8 gig free space at the end of the harddrive. now if i can keep working on trying to get beos working with out losing what i have FINALLY GOT TO WORK, then i will, but if theirs a good chance beos will wipe out everythig then im throwing in the towel for now....4 days of trying and linux went on perfect( p.s. note: YOPER-Linux is same as win-xp setup and designed for pentium 4 systems plus all plug-n-play setup and install including the bootloader and supports ntfs resizeing.

If we use same version (i use 31b1)
there are two files inside:
floppycd.img
FloppyIdeRepl.img
also some programs for DOS or windows to process boot images.
And quite exhaustive readme.
First img bootminage is for standard (read - ancient) IDE controllers, and can be directly burnt as CD boot-track.
Second one is for more modern, UDMA IDE controllers, and in its present form, i suspect, is raw image for bootfloppy. You should read included docs to be sure.
If so, it may be converted to cd boot-track image either by included utilities, like "IDE REPL FLOPPY MAKER call me under DOS or Windows.BAT", not sure though, as i did it all for my Thinkpad R40 6 months ago,
or, in simpler way, by any Windoze CD burner with checking there flag/checkbox for "Make bootable CD", or, more technically "El Torito CD".
You can use RW disks and burn there only that little boot-track, and then boot from that CD, chooseing there HDD partition.
If it works, you will find at MAX partition, at Desktop, folder "Drivers" or "Other Drivers", where you can find also "Ide Replacement Driver", which installs it finally also for HDD boot.
One again, for my work i use this version of
http://www.bebits.com/bob/17828/BeOS5PEMaxEditionV31b1.zip
which has little issue for first run though.
At first start it tends to crash Deskbar or Tracker.
That's nothing dangerous or bad in BeOS, as those are usual programs. Just press softly and patiantly Ctr+Alt+Del once, wait until you see button "restart Desktop" at appeared panel, then then press "Cancel", when Desktop is restarted.
Second boot must be problem-free.

i have done that also. Just to make sure you see the whole picture. I can install beos Max (boots up fine and installs (even installs in color running 1280x1024 res). now once completed and on reboot...
* if just let boot normal , i get boot upto 4th icon.
* If I use safe mode , (i get a flickering blue screen).
* if i turn off everything and use safe mode, i get a mouse pointer and its locked up.
* now if i use boot cd and select boot cd as boot drive only, and use safemode and check everything else, i can boot up, but it sometimes locks up, but cant seem to access the drives either. Im sure you are right, my problem is my driver for my idebus. (windows label: SIS PCI IDE UDMA CONTROLLER -laptop).]
Harddrive 60gig (windows label: Hitachi_DK23EA-60)
hope this cuts out some of the misconceptions and makes everything more clear for a better understanding and more (EASIER) fix.
thanks for the help in advance

No need to wipe installed BeOS only in order to try different boot modes:)
If you can boot from CD successfully,
did you try following sequence:
1)boot from CD
2)Install
3)let CD stay in drive
4)when it starts booting from CD (!) press space
5)choose there new boot volume (HDD)
if it loads in such way, we can continue solving your problems.
Also things are easier if your laptop has floppy-drive

Okay... BeOS installation was ready after 10 minutes of waiting on a P200mhz with 64 MB RAM, 4 MB S3 Virge videocard. Before I installed this piece of shitware, I made the PC solid with at least 97% of systemsource memory...
After installation (which was a clean one), the PC had to restart and BeOS showed it's face to me. Dammmmmmmm!!!!
Okay, it was fast and furious, but I couldn't do anything with it. Some features were available inside this shitware, but I don't think this software is good enough for my project. The idea is good, but I need an OS similar as Windows, able to access my drives and use the data on it... That's why I am now gazing at GAZE, or GeOS which it has been called now...
But I tried and gained more knowledge... Thanks! BeOS has potentional, but make it an open source to open data already excisting on the drive, makes things in life more interesting and compatible...
Bye!!! You won't see me here anymore!

Last BeOS MAX was shipped with several version of bootloaders.
4th icon indicates that you have problem with IDE DMA.
Keyword is "IDE Replacement Driver" for solving this problem, so you should try bootimage and bootfoloppy with and witout IDEReplacement.
Also try just this option on and off in bootmanager Safe Mode options.
Unfortunately for some chipsets like nForce2 only disabling DMA in BIOS helps, but i think that experiments with two versions of bootimage can help your case

If i use BEOS-Max it loads and installs 100% with no problems even have color screen, but during boot up it gets to the 4th icon and sets their, i have tried safemode-everything else under beos boot manager. So i decided to just load the PE edition copy it to new partition and make it bootable then manual load stuff off max edition, it loads into a blue screen, now i know at this point you will say, "OHH your system isnt compatable", but if i use safemode and the maxcd to boot from (boot to maxcd CDROM-PARTITION), it boots fine, and i can look at the beos partition and everything, but i dont know what to change to make it load, since the changes i do in this mode is with the cdrom-boot it wont take. Any help please, because i have no other machine to put it on...

beos has it's own bootloader called "bootman", which can be run from the Terminal.
here's a website w/alternatives to bootman http://betips.net/chunga.php?id=473

I have a new compaq laptop 16" screen 2.8 ghz (loaded) +60 gig harddrive. (no floppy)
for reasons of my own, i want to dual boot MSDOS 6.22, BEOS(MAXED3.1), and windows XP...
I dont want to use the cdrom as a loader for beos, and I want a loader that will support all 3 OS easily.
What is my best approach (not *newbi*) just havenet used dual booting outside of windows 2k/xp before.
Just give me the basics on partitioning ( 1-primary, rest later as stuff is installed)?
which ones first (willing to wipe out system to do this right and easy).
and plan to make beos auto boot using a boot loader and not a floppy/cdrom.

IBM Thinkcentre A30 does not work with BeOS.
Intel 845G Chipset
Intel Pentium 4 Processor
256MB PC2700 DDR
64MB Intel Extreme Graphics
40GB 7200RPM Seagate Baracudda
48X Sony CD-Rom
I added a 128MB Geforce FX 5200 PCI (Dual Head)
I've tried both Max PE 5 and PE for Windows. PE for Windows is a pain in the ass to get working because the computer is slightly unstable on Windows 98 and 2000. For the bootable BeOS, it sits there, like the other machines I submitted. This board is completely Intel, so I guess that is the problem. If you have any fixes for Netvista and Thinkcentre computers using the 845G chipset which are doing the same thing, please reply to this and send an e-mail to unixpenguin2004@earthlink.net with the fixes. As for the previous machines I have submitted, the latitude I have is too worn out to use. The screen is the main problem and the deskbar can be fixed with a patch, I now know this. As for the Vectra Vei8, the screen driver flips the screen repeatively and I doubt it'd look any better even if I could install it. If theres a fix for the Matrox G200 problem, please send this with the e-mail also. As for my custom nForce2 rig, I will eventually get around to editing the boot file. If you are positive that by editing the cpu name on the boot file will fix the problem of it sticking on the boot process from the cd reply to this saying so. As for PE from Windows, that'll probably take longer for me to fix. If I get in contact with a friend I know I can acquire a board I had in the past which worked natively with BeOS, which is a PII 233MHz with phoenix bios and 128MB ram. I really wish I could get it working on one of my more powerful machines as BeOS kicks ass when it runs on a much faster system. BeOS is pretty kick ass for being a multimedia os in my own opinion. I've used it before, I just ended up replacing the machines which could run it. Because I love BeOS so much, I can just throw away my experience with it and BeBits, which I have grown to love. Thanks.

Even has sound. The only thing that doesn't work is the NVNET lan. The embedded 3COM works fine. Don't know about native SATA though.
Easiest way to do the patch is install Personal Edition, then run a patch on the image.be file. Then boot.
Patch file (win32 version already complied) http://euank.users.btopenworld.com/simpatch_win32.zip just run "simpatch c:\image.be"

BeOS does not work with:
1.) Hewlett Packard Vectra Vei8 (550/PIII/384/Matrox G200
2.) Dell Latitude M233XT (LAPTOP)
3.) Custom (Shuttle AN35-N Ultra nForce2/AMD XP 2K+/256/Matrox Millenium)
Errors/Problems:
1.) Skippy video driver flips screen
2.) Actually installs but has a hardware related deskbar bug. Off center screen positioning.
3.) This machine inherently shouldn't work due to its Athlon processor and unsupported nForce chipset. The problem here is it sticks at the BeOS loading screen and won't work even with the reverse method of installing it from Windows 98, which hangs also.

If you install BeOS to a seperate partition, you can install a boot manager (BeOS comes with one - Bootman) that will display a menu when you turn your computer on so you can choose which OS to start.
You can install BeOS by itself, but you will have to burn the image file to a CD and get a bootable floppy. Make sure you don't select a partition with anything on it in the BeOS installer as that partition will be wiped. You can use something like BootItNG (www.bootitng.com) or partition magic to resize your existing partitions and create a new one for BeOS.
Also, a word of warning: Opera for BeOS is no longer updated, the version we have is way back at 3.something. We have firefox as a modern browser, but it will be very slow on that hardware. BeOS comes with a simple browser, NetPositive, but that is really out of date and not a lot of use for the modern web.

Before I start this... Is there a way after the reboot, that you see a menu between you can choose if you want to start in Windows or in BeOS?
And another question... Is there an Option that I can install BeOS on a system without any windows installed? That the system uses BeOS entirely as it's primal operating system?
Thank you

Hi.. After a while searching for a smart and fast OS, BeOs took my complete attention. First I wanted to implement PalmOS on a heavier machine like a desktop or laptop system. But This is better and approved by thousands of users.
Okay. A system like P133 with 32 mb RAM and a HD of 1,6 Gb, no Soundcard and just a videocard of 1 mb and a modem for cable/ADSL.
My project, to run BeOS on this tiny simple system for usage ONLY for internet-surfing, no media stuff... I think I need to use Opera for this... Specially bought this system for this project, what if I turn it into rubbish after installation??
A few years ago I installed a previous BeOS on my (still present system) laptop and all went BAD to WORSE... After installation, the system was so useless... No efficiency whatshowever... Had to format everything because after deinstallation Windows didn't worked anymore....
I hope this version is better, but I won't make the same mistake again... Later my report about this project.. Sorry of my language here, I am not english... Bye
