32MB is the theoretical maximum with standard-size clusters, but I think for over 16MB old MS-DOS will use FAT16. Maybe smaller. You are going *wayyyyyy* too big. Try starting with say 1MB and slowly doubling it... I reckon 8 or 16 is likely to be the maximum. Remember that until Compaq DOS 3.31, the maximum size _for FAT16_ was 32MB. -- Liam Proven ~ Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk ~ gMail/gTalk/FB: lpro...@gmail.com Twitter/LinkedIn: lproven ~ Skype: liamproven UK: (+44) 7939-087884 ~ Czech [+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal]: (+420) 702-829-053 _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
