Not correct. The kernel version is the same between FreeDOS 1.4 and FreeDOS T2505, so this isn't a kernel issue. FORMAT is the same version (0.92a) in both FreeDOS 1.4 and FreeDOS T2505, so this isn't a FORMAT regression. > A FAT12 partition with 10k sectors is quite small, do you > get similar problems for FAT16 < 32 MB partition type?

I only needed a 5MB disk image, so that's the one I used (and found the issue). > Does the problem depend on which version of the kernel > and/or format you use, in other words, could this be a > regression? Do things work with EDR-DOS or MS kernels? I haven't tried it with MS-DOS (and I don't have a copy of EDR-DOS) but the FreeDOS kernel is the same version in FreeDOS 1.4 and T2505, and the FORMAT version is the same in FreeDOS 1.4 and T2505. _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
