FreeDOS 1 installs to hard disk fine, but after reboot I get ..Error! If I hit enter it asks me to insert the boot disk in Drive A. It appears that Drive A is the DVD ROM drive containing the FreeDOS install CD. The live option runs just fine. For some reason it does not seem to be looking at Drive C to boot from.
I have in the past successfully installed a previous version (beta 9 I think), which I removed by formatting the C (FAT) partition using Powerquest PatitionMagic under Windows XP. I did not have this problem with the earlier version. The FreeDOS area is in the first primary partion of my hard disk with Win XP in the second (NTFS) partition. I use PowerQuest Bootmagic as my boot manager, which I disabled temporarily prior to the FreeDOS install, after having first set the FreeDOS partion as the default to boot from. I have even tried using the sys c: command from the CDROM but I still get the same problem. Any suggestions as to how to make FreeDOS boot from drive C much appreciated. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/FreeDOS-1-install-problem-tf2283362.html#a6343017 Sent from the FreeDOS - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
