How to boot with empty drive

Empty drives are just formatted drives without any data. It's a good choice if you want to start with blank image. But because they are empty, you can't boot from it. You need to install some OS to boot from empty drive.

  1. To do this, you need first boot with newly created drive. The easiest way to do it is to download DOS bootable diskette. You can get one here (dos.img).

  2. Open studio, pick your forked drive as C: and press Play

  3. Open FS sidebar, press upload file select dos.img from.

    boot from A:

  4. Type imgmount a: dos.img to mount image as drive A:

  5. Now boot from A: by typing boot a:

  6. When you booted, you can change to drive C:. Do what you want: copy files, install OS, etc.
