Please can
someone tell me what is happening with drive letter re-assignment. I
started from fdos1440.img and from odin1440.img (0.72) with similar
results. And also starting from a floppy disk or from a cd running in fd
emulation to make it bootable.
I run fdisk to create 3 partitions on my
harddrive, a 22Mb bootable, a 3Gb bootable and a 5Gb, all primary
partitions. I want fdos on the 22Mb, and then I want XP with a multiboot
on the 3Gb (eventually to be turned into an Xpe). Having activated the
22Mb it becomes C: in FDisk, and has Command.com and kernel.sys.
Now, if I try to boot directly from the HD,
the preamble lists the drive correctly, but Command.com is not found. When
I point to a copy on A:, then I find that C: (where he system is looking for
command.com) is actually the 5Gb partition, and neither of the other HD
partitions are visible at all.
If I start from the floppy disk with
fdos1440.img then it all appears to work properly until I remove the floppy
drive (external USB drive) and then the 5Gb partition becomes C: and doesn't
have command.com on it.
Please, how do I get the system to simply
boot consistently from the one active partition that actually has fdos on
it?
exasperatedly,
Justin
