1. IO.sys is a it's a binary file and you will need a hex editer to mess with it. Why do you want to edit it, if you error and save it, you could render the PC unbootablke, and have to reinstall the operating system.

You can get a free one HERE (http://www.chmaas.handshake.de/delphi/freeware/xvi32/xvi32.htm)

2. "I want to change the menu name Of my win98 startup disk" don't understand are you wanting to change the START button? The menu's within the START button???? Or the Welcome screen when booting up?

I need to change the name of Dos Menu Or the Startup Menu from the startUp Disk:dizzy:

Hi

give me some time, I will dig up some examples.
btw, the menu is not in IO.sys

This what I did for a CD what saved me tons of time for setting up Windos 98se

I used a file called JO.SYS to launch the CDROM
this one gives you the choice to boot from CD or from CDROM

booting off the CD, the files mentioned in config.sys and autoexec.bat have to be found, so findCD.exe is used

if this does not find the CD, because you have two drives, for instance, then it goes to NOCDROM

FindCD.EXE can be hexedited to make it look for something else than setup.exe
(what I did for a bootable GHOST CD I made once)

JO.SYS can be gotten off a windows CD, and I have found that modern machines seem not to require that it gets hacked for changing a time-out option. (for that changed JO.SYS, see Bart Lagerwij' site for details)
default is that it boots from hard disk

once this CD boots, it looks for itself (that is what it does)
it then goes into a menu with three options
SETUP with preset information
just CDROM support so you can use the files on CDROM
and NO CD, so you can sorta bail out
(you wind up at an A: dosprompt with only the content of the bootfloppy you used as image available, which had some powerful tools on it by itself...)

the default choice is set to boot with CD support (with plenty tools on that CD...)
(BUT, that is so one HAS to make that choice so as to launch preset setup)

CC.EXE is a little copy tool one can find on the net

The Language you see is Dutch, but the stuff here gives an example.
(a standard start disk made by windows 98 has a menu you can study too)

for this CDROM I made a floppy with the required files on it.
This floppy can be used by itself
(this was handy when the machine did not have boot from CD in its BIOS.)


CONFIG.SYS looks like this
[menu]
menuitem=SETUP_CD, VOOR-GECONFIGUREERDE Setup vanaf CD-ROM.
menuitem=CD, Start de computer met CD-ROM ondersteuning.
menuitem=NOCD, Start de computer ZONDER CD-ROM ondersteuning.

menucolor=7,0

[SETUP_CD]

[CD]

device=A:\EMM386.exe noems
device=oakcdrom.sys /D:mscd001
device=flashpt.sys
device=aspicd.sys /D:mscd001

[NOCD]
device=himem.sys /testmem:off
device=EMM386.exe noems

[COMMON]

install=A:\mode.com con cp prepare=((850) A:\ega.cpi)
install=A:\mode.com con cp select=850
install=A:\keyb.com be,,A:\keyboard.sys


AUTOEXEC.bat looks like this

@ECHO OFF
set EXPAND=YES
SET DIRCMD=/O:N /W /P

cls
set temp=c:\
set tmp=c:\
path=a:\

IF "%config%"=="NOCD" GOTO QUIT
LH MSCDEX.EXE /D:mscd001 /L:D
set Path=A:\;C:\;%CDROM%\;%CDROM%\dos\;%CDROM%\nort200 2\;
echo.
IF "%config%"=="SETUP_CD" goto AUTOSETUP
GOTO QUIT

:AUTOSETUP
set CDROM=FOO23
FINDCD.EXE
if "%CDROM%"=="FOO23" goto NOCDROM
path=a:\;%CDROM%\
%CDROM%
A:\cc \WIN98 C:\WIN98 /b /r+ /u /s
echo.
c:\WIN98\SETUP.EXE PRESET.INF /NF /NTLDR /is /iv /p j /d
goto QUIT



:NOCDROM
echo.
echo Windows 98 Setup Bestand werd niet gevonden
echo.


:QUIT

Thx Alot 4 all to help me & I got It & change it from the IO.Sys
& creat my own menu

& thx for "jtdoom" I know that & I maked it

But I have onther Q? how can I creat my own Io.sys Or Jo.sys
beacase I want make my own Boot Style For My CD

[jtdoom]

hi

Jo.sys launches, and requires IO.sys as well

to get JO.SYS off the CD, I think I used isobuster, or perhaps winimage.

if you need that little file
you can get a copy from the CD, or from bart's site
http://www.nu2.nu/jo/

Bart has developed this further, and this now comes with a configuration tool I will look at asap
