If you have the choice between AHCI and IDE you should (as far as I remember) use IDE. AHCI being better in general, but not supported by FreeDOS (at least this old version).

Re: [Freedos-user] Installation Problem Hdd
Hi! There is no need to use Linux to replace the MBR boot code, you can easily do that with DOS tools. Of course if you prefer Linux tools, they can be used for the same purpose :-) I assume you want to get rid of Windows, so you do not need to convert from GPT to MBR. Deleting the partitions and restarting with MBR will be sufficient. You could also wipe the drive if you want to leave no data behind when you return the computer. There are both DOS and Linux tools for that and modern disk even have built-in features to wipe themselves. For example hdparm in Linux can be used to start that process, which can take very long.

If GPT is the issue, should a Linux based tool be used to get around that? I'm thinking something like boot nuke or something similar. April 23, 2020 8:16 AM, "Eric Auer" wrote: > Hi!

Re: [Freedos-user] Installation Problem Hdd
Hi! Which tools in which versions did you use? For example which FORMAT, FDISK...? Let me start by saying the choice for MBR was good: GPT partitions are not visible for DOS. Not sure what the purpose of that EFI partition is, but it is easily possible that Windows had a boot loader on the first disk to boot from the second, affecting both boots. You can tell FDISK to install a fresh MBR boot code, see the command line help of FDISK :-) Of course you also want to mark the partition as bootable and for big disks, you probably want to use FAT32 LBA partitions for FreeDOS.

I accessed the Efi partition and erased the windows bootloader, but doing this I must have made some mistake, and now the laptop wont boot in Hp dos too. So, I downloaded Freedos 1.1/1.2, created a bootable usb with it, restarted on usb and accessed the installation prompt.

Same thing exactly going on here. Many others experiencing the same results. Something is wrong with sr #2. Try this, I haven't yet: Hi, it could be the case that the nlsfunc interaction is what crashes for you (nlsfunc/display/mode/devel-kernel). Try if it helps to skip loading nlsfunc (hit f8 at boot, then you are asked for each driver if it should be loaded). If that helps: Just remove nlsfunc from your config sys.

I ve got the same errors with freedos beta 9SR2 invalid opcodes messages and the installation stopped First I have build a new freedos bootdisk, from my collected files. I have bought a 400 Mhz PC. Installation of FreeDOS with Emm386 2.08 , Kernel 2035b-csv works without any problems. It s an AMD K6 . Than i ve tested it with my Pentium II 432Mhz 2GB SCSI 256 MB RAM System. the way i have found with Pentium II and special chipsets! is to use fdxxms and not himem and emm386 but umbpci . The installation with emm386 in Version 2.02 works fine, it s not the new kernel but emm386 and arachne makes problems to show png and jpg images the system crashes.. I don t know how to use himem and emm386 on this PC! With fdxxms and umbpci there is no problem . Everything works fine. UMBPCI tells an INTEL 440LX/EX chipset and seems to be required. There are other Chipsets UMBPCI provides. I don t know if emm386 provides this in any way. I think it s EMM version 2.04 on the freedos beta9 SR2, but i don t know how it makes the harddisk bootable after format . The freedos beta9 sr2 installer could not install freedos on this pc! A bootdisk or odin with a new himem and emm is not able to install freedos for this pc. After sys c: the system freeze, kernel is not written. Without himem and emm it works for the same system. With new emm386 in config.sys of the pc, opcode errors occurs and system stops.

I had the same exact problem. There is clearly something wrong with service release 2. I had to go back and install sr1. I have installed the last several releases of FD and they all went in flawlessly on this hardware. There have been some suggestions made, but I haven't tried them yet. Look through earlier postings if you can, subject: problems with floppy install. Best of luck to you. J.M. On Thursday 16 March 2006 11:23, Escorter wrote: Hi! I downloaded the latest fdfullcd.iso, and I burned it at 16x speed. I booted my PII from this cd. The booting is going fine, but when I start the installation, I get four line of Invalid Opcode at... error message, and the system halted. What does it mean? And how can I fix it? _ Állest Keres?

It causes screen output to be not seen. Your installed FreeDOS is still bootable? if not, just copy c:\fdos\kernel32.sys to c:\kernel.sys No further solution, I'm afraid. A program corrupts the memory until a reboot.
