Just some thoughts off the top of my head.
- Did you burn the image to the partition on the card or to the card? (You’ll want to do the latter.)
- You might want to try booting from the card before expanding the partition to 2GB just to make sure the partitioning program isn’t doing anything bad.
- Can you check and see if one of the partitions on the card is marked as a boot partition?
- Maybe just open the disk itself in a hex editor if you can and make sure whether the MBR seems to have bootloader code in it.

I did try to see if leaving the partitioning part out changes anything, and still nothing. Same thing as before. Also tried not changing sizes, same thing sadly.
As for the other 2 points, im afraid that I don’t have the knowhow yet as to how to check those…

I’m not familiar with the tool they talked about for burning the image to the SD card, but can you share a screen shot of the options you used when burning the image?

I’ll do once im home in around 7 hours! In the mean time, I can definetly say that what the Video shows is 1 to 1 the same thing I saw while working with both programs and I followed them to the Pixel if that helps

Just got around to taking some screenshots.
First I press the “Flash from File” button and choose the DOS6.22 Ultimate .img Image
Then I select the Target, which is the SD Card Image
Then Lastly I press the Flash button and it does its thing Image
All ending without error on this screen Image
This is what the finished thing then looks like Image
Then I’d usually move onto the Partition Wizard.
Something odd I just noticed is that even after all the flashing and stuff, the card retains its original thumbnail saying “SD HC”, would’ve thought that be gone by now, could that be an issue?

Ah! SDHC.
So, SDHC cards are a little different than regular SD cards (the protocol used to communicate with the card is a little different) and often aren’t supported by particular SD card readers like potentially the SD-to-IDE adapter you’re using.
(I know back in the day, I hacked my Nintendo Wii, which involved loading a bunch of homebrew programs on an SD card, and at first it didn’t support SDHC cards until there was a firmware update.)
Technically, I think any SD card can be SDHC, but almost always SDHC is only used by high-capacity cards. Also, I think they usually say “SDHC” physically on the card.
So, probably the next thing I’d try if I was you was to change out your SDHC card for a non-HC SD card. Any 8GB to 32GB card should be fine, I’d think. (If you have any that are smaller even than that, like 256MB, even, you could at least use it to confirm that’s the issue. You just couldn’t expand the partition sizes out to 2GB.)
