MessageFor what it is worth, I use HP's Disk format tool for my CF card. This
utility is no longer supported but you can easily find it on the web (be
cautious).

Invoke the utility, select the device (occasionally it can't find any, just
re-insert your CF card), click on Create a DOS startup disk, navigate to the
Freedos bin directory (containing kernel.sys) and click start. Finish off by
copying command.com and other utilities to your card.

Hi all
Eric, I followed the following steps
1. Format CFC on PC as FAT not FAT32
2. Wrote FreeDos bootable image to it with WinImage
3. Booted with CFC
4. FDisk, Delete partition, Create Primary Dos partition, Answer "Y" to
Fat32 support.
5. Format C:
6. Sys C:
7. Now have bootable image that I can use to create new bootable CFC's
I think some of my problems were caused by Kernel32.sys
Only half reading the detail and deciding that was what was needed.
Simply sticking to Kernel.sys and the procedure above solved the problem.
Application runs fine, and LFN support works as well.
Many thanks for your support.
PS: I never knew that CFC's have a preset FAT system, I thought that writing
an image to it with WinImage would set the FAT as per the image.
Regards
