Hi Alain:

This stick should boot as C:...it does in MSDOS and,
in some cases, FreeDOS.  It would boot as A: only if I
was using another boot loader (like SYSLINUX) (I think).

If the stick were a:, it would boot to an "A:"
and I would see a blank disk (since the HP utility
"hides" the system files) at a:.

Thanks!

Mark

Hi Mark,

I haven't really understood all that you did, but hear my comment anyway ;-)

If I run the utility, instruct it to format the USB stick and
use FreeDOS development (February 14, 2006) files, FreeDOS boots
to a C:\> prompt all right, but a "dir c:" shows me the files
from an extended FAT32 partition on my hard disk, not the USB stick!

If I understand correctly, you booted from the USB stick, so that should be A: and the harddisk as C: would be normal. At least that is what I would expect as standard DOS behavior...
