Hi! As said, I can imagine that the BIOS of your system has problems if the USB stick and DOM both count as harddisks. But you already have bootable DOS installed from floppy now, so I suggest ways which are easier:
You can connect the DOM instead of the normal disk to a "bigger" PC with CD-ROM and powerful BIOS and install there, then put the DOM into the small PC again. You can use the ability of FreeDOS drivers to use ISO files instead of physical CD/DVD drives and then run the installer from that virtual CD ROM. Read the SHSU* driver documentation or check the contents of the normal ISO for examples of how to load and configure the drivers. You can use older versions of FreeDOS boot images because those only use FLOPPY type boot areas and avoid the conflict of the current virtual HARDDISK boot image. Then, upgrade to a newer version using the installed version, or just keep things as-is. So there are many ways to have a guilt-free DOS :-) Regards, Eric PS: Yes, you can use USB drives formatted ZIP style to boot from with various - but not all - BIOSes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
