I got kernel 2033_32 and used INSTALL.BAT to create a FreeDOS bootable
floppy. Altered CONFIG.SYS so I could load Iomega's ZIP drivers.
Applied SYS C: transferring system files to C: ZIP-100 disk(FAT32)
Rebooted, reset BIOS bootup sequence to ZIP-100 as first boot devise.
Booted fine!
Note; this particular ZIP disk WAS FAT32 before transferring system files.
Note; This disk remains seen as FAT32 under WinXP
Files in [JLilly.zip];
Result - done prior to transferring system files (when ZIP-100 was still FAT
32 & NOT bootable)
reslt2 - done after transferring system files. ZIP disk now bootable
screen01.bmp - fdisk /info screen capture
screen02.bmp - fdisk /status screen capture
screen03.bmp - fdisk /dump screen capture (AFTER system files were
transferred)
screen04.bmp - SYS C: screen capture of system files transfer to a FAT32
ZIP-100 disk, prepped by SpinRite. Was unbootable. But after system files
transfer is now bootable. Note errors captured on screen.
