Using BuildIso

How to use BuildIso?

Steps to use BuildIso:

  1. Download and install BuildIso from https://github.com/BuildIso/BuildIso.
  2. Create a new folder in C:\ (e.g. MyCoolOS)
  3. In your folder create 2 folders: boot and iso_root.
  4. Still in your folder, create a .txt file and rename it .csproj (e.g., MyCoolOS.csproj). You don't need to fill it in (an empty .csproj will always be valid because it is just used to determine the name of the final .iso).
  5. Still in your folder, copy BuildIso.exe into your project folder.
  6. Now in the boot folder create a .txt file and rename it to boot.asm then download NASM (or any other assembler) and convert this boot.asm into boot.bin.
  7. Now add your files to iso_root (e.g. README.md) if you want to use iso_root download an LBA Reader.
  8. Last step, launch BuildIso.exe, then some options will appear and choose, and that's it, or otherwise you can open cmd.exe, go to the folder where BuildIso.exe is located, type 'BuildIso.exe "C:/MyCoolOS"' and that's it, or otherwise 'BuildIso.exe C:/MyCoolOS'.
