Hi all
Having a second go at using FD, after some of my problems were resolved by
the very
efficient Udo @ DR-Dos Forum.
This link explains the problems I was having booting both Fd & DR-Dos
http://www.drdosprojects.de/forum/drp_forum/posts/8019.html
Firstly, it should be noted that my hardware works very nicely on both
Ms-Dos
and DR_Dos.
After a very painfull episode, I finally managed to get a bootable CFC.
I made the Bootdisk as follows.
1. Booted from a DR-DOS bootdisk that made a RamDrive in memory.
2. Copied FDos file to RamDrive. (Format , Sys, Command.com, Kernel.sys)
3. Changed to D:\
4. Format C:
5. Sys D: C:
Then rebooted and it worked.
However, I have an error at boot time.
"InitDiskWarning Using suspect partition PRI: 1 FS 06 with calculated
values
982-15-63 instead of 940-31-63 C: HD1, PRI [1] , CHS = 0-1-1, START= 0MB,
Size = 967 MB"
If I change the BIoS fromAuto to manual and change the Heads, Cyl to the
calculated values, then
on the next boot, it reports the same error, but with totally different
"Calculated values"
Loading LbaCache gives the following HDD report:
Disk 0x80 Heads=0032 sectors=63
Can someone shed some light on this please.
I suppose I can ignore it for the moment, and continue to see how far I can
go with it,
but would never be sure if it was causing errors.
