Yes, but there's obviously some major problems with this. To be fair, it's probably unreasonable to expect FreeDOS to be able to install an MS-DOS 6.22 boot sector from a FAT12 floppy to a FAT16 partition. It would certainly be unreasonable to expect FreeDOS to be able to install an MS-DOS 6.22 boot sector from a FAT12 floppy to a FAT32 partition! However, I don't see why there can't be a simple program to install a bootsector from a saved location as follows: MS-DOS 6.22 -> FAT16 Win95/98 -> FAT32 In a previous post on the topic, it was suggested this isn't easy because the boot sector contains "drive geometry information" and therefore you can't just "save bootsectors" and expect to be able to restore them back again. I don't know if this is true or not, but I've certainly done similar things with WinImage and it worked fine, but maybe WinImage is able to calculate geometry?? -- Gerry Hickman (London UK) _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
