Re: [Freedos-devel] FreeDOS 1.2 Preview 11

At least with fdisk /XO [Extended Options in user interface] on (set at the end of fdisk.ini), we have access to functions to change type of a partition in the interface. Looking a bit in the code, there seems to be an option for extended interrupt 13h functions. And it seems to use (more) LBA in

Re: [Freedos-devel] FreeDOS 1.2 Preview 11

Your suggestion to "fdisk /mbr:81" (81=D:) was making much sense to me because the disk was having grub on it before I erase all with fdisk to make place for FreeDOS. So yes, it made sense that grub being installed in MBR might made me not having normal MBR. But trying "fdisk /mbr:81" have not

I wouldn't think the LBA aware type would have kept your system from booting. I thought that only affected Win9x and IFS driver. Glad you got it working anyways. On Tue, Feb 2, 2016 at 9:20 PM, Paul Dufresne wrote: > >What exact partition i.d. is your FAT? Perhaps it

Ok, I open my box and literally found an old forgotten dusty unconnected PATA 40Gb drive. I connected it (after disconnecting SATA drive). And reinstall FreeDOS from USB key. Worked flawlessly this time. At least a few seconds until I try to type 'help dir' or 'help' (as suggested) which make the

A side note to ALL, regarding what packages are included. There is really no reason you cannot make your own personal customized FDI based release. Two ways to do it. The easy way: For Floppy Image, just modify the package list files A:\FDSETUP\SETUP\*.LST. It will
