Can't convert IMG to ISO

645 Views Asked by At

So I'm currently working on my own OS (just for fun), and it's currently being compiled into an IMG file. I know it's not needed but I would like to try and compile it into an ISO, but so far I've had no luck with it. I'm not quite sure which files are needed, so just ask for them and I will edit the post :)

When I run the img I get this: IMG result

But when I run the ISO I get this: ISO result

Here's my compile script I wrote in batch:

@echo off

So I changed the tool I used to convert it into an ISO from fat_imgen to mtools.
I also followed what Michael Petch suggested in a comment which was to use the -cdrom option in qemu, and now everything seems to work as it should.
