Hello, I have an old laptop (for windows xp) which I used for many years, it has a 60gb hard drive and I have installed freedos many times.
I have an answer on all of these: > Can FreeDOS be installed on a partition >2gb. > Will it work above the 2gb limit? > Will it boot from the second primary DOS partition on the same drive? > You get the idea. 1. Yes it can be installed very completely nothing missing etc. I have done this many times. I had to figure out how but now it's easy. It's not an other way for install. 2. It works (with fat32). It detects all the 60gbs. And works beautiful no errors , crashes etc. 3. Yes also tried it. It works from the second partition. But if you had windows xp on it, you can't use xp anymore until Freedos is deleted. It will completely "takeover" because freedos doesn't detect the other partition with xp on it so it won't let you boot that. Otherwise windows xp can't boot because XP won't show his boot manager, freedos uses that already. Sorry for my English as always. I'm Dutch I hope you can use it! Maarten
