New Disk with Text Menu - Help

Hello Guys,

I was trying to create a new disk with a text file as menu and just some numbers to load .exe intros. I mean just a simple menu, something like type 1 to load intro1 2 to load intro2 and so on.
Yes, I am doing some collections of intros or .exe files I have and would share it of course.
But the problem is I have copied C Dir and Libs dirs onto this Empy disks, even tried to copy the same directory of another compilation disk but I cannot start everything I have in my s/startup sequence.
For example if in my startup-sequence write Type menu.txt and in C I have the command type and in the disk I have the file menu.txt I cannote see any text. Only the Prompt!
And when I boot the disk from df0: I have the requester Insert Empty volume in any drive.

What shout I do to create a booting disk with menu ect etc to make my compilation disk?

Many Thanks in advance

You should use 'Install' to make a bootable disk. Then copy your files and your startup-sequence on it. It should now boot and hopefully display your text. Make sure you text file is in the root of the disk if you don't use any paths
About the menu : Have a look at this thread http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=40095

You can use this menu. I found it on Aminet, it's only 7KB:
