I somehow managed to ruin the Compact Flash card (64Mb) that I used to boot my 5160XT from and XT-IDE board.
I had made a back up copy of the contents of the card and though that by getting a new one and copying the back up files over it would be sufficient,....but it isn't, I cant bood from the new card as I did with the old one.
These are the things I tried;
1.- I have copied the DOS directory installed files (DOS 6.22 files) + Autoexec.bat +Config.sys+Command.com = No Good
2.- Formated the Compact Flash using an old laptop with XP installed in it, selecting the option to make it bootable = No Good
3.-Pulled half of my hair... =No Good.
Does anyone know what I am missing and how to make the Compact Flash card bootable?
BTW, I only have the XT5160, and old laptop with XP installed in it and a MacBook Pro (no other PC to work with as a tool/data bridge)
