Using MakeDisk

This table lists messages that you may see when you use MakeDisk to create a
new image file for drives C or D.
Message
A source path has been specified that
contains no files.
An invalid path and/or file name has
been specified for the image file.
An invalid path name has been specified.
Corrupt BPB in suffix: Unable to
create a drive image.
Corrupt suffix: Unable to create a
drive image.
Drive full: Unable to write a complete
image file to the output drive. Remove
some files or specify a different output
path and file name.
ERROR, unknown or incomplete
command, or too many characters:
[bad command line argument shown here].
Insufficient memory, unable to create a
complete image file. Try again after
removing device drivers, TSRs, or other
applications that are occupying
conventional memory.
Invalid drive letter specified. Please
specify either drive C or D only.

Explanation/Solution
You cannot attempt to create an image file from a source
directory that contains no files. MakeDisk will not let you create
an empty drive image.
MakeDisk was unable to create the image file based on the
"/o=[path\filename]" argument given. This error can be
caused by either an invalid path name (for example, a path that
doesn't exist or a "not ready" drive), or a path\filename that
contains characters that DOS does not recognize as valid
characters for filenames.
MakeDisk could not find the source directory path you
specified on the command line. Please specify a valid
subdirectory for the "/s=[path]" argument.
If either of these messages persist after further attempts, it may
indicate a corrupted MAKEDISK.EXE file. Get a fresh copy of
MAKEDISK.EXE from the Boot Utilities companion disk.
The drive where the image file is being written has insufficient
free space available to contain the entire image file.
You have entered a command line argument that MakeDisk
does not recognize (as shown in the error message). Run
MakeDisk again with the command line argument corrected.
There is not enough conventional DOS memory available on the
computer running MakeDisk to complete the MakeDisk
process. You may need to unload (terminate) some applications,
device drivers, or TSRs in order to free the needed memory.
Another approach is to reduce the number of nested
subdirectories in the longest directory chain below your source
directory.
MakeDisk will only create image files for drives C and D on
your 4MB JANUS device.
