Hi all,
A user reported to me that for some HardDisks FreeDOS's FDISK is not
able to set the ACTIVE bit for the boot partition...
Has anyone encountered this problem? is there a fix?
I am using fdisk131.zip (fdisk.exe is 39153 bytes)
Thanks for any info,
Alain

When I first was installing FreeDos, and also setting up my partitions,
I never could get good results with fdisk, anything formatted with, or
partitios set up witf
fdisk, would not boot, but I never understood whay, I thought it was cause I
did not know much about what I was doing, but I had been folowing instructions
very careful, I finally ended up useing the SPFDISK, and Partition Magic, to do
what I wanted to do,..Although I never pinpointed the problem wiith fdisk, what
yu are saying makes me think, that may have been the problem. I would be
willing to run some tests, but unfortunately, since this computer is working
fine like I have it, and I don't have another that I could use,..I've got to
much "work" in this one, to risk experimenting anymore. However I am very
interested in hearing what more devlopes on this. If you want I can give more
detailed info, as to version,etc,..later...at the moment this is my lunch break
and I do not have the details at hand,...
I had liked what fdisk appeared to be able to do, it seemed simple enough to
use, etc.
But as I said since I never could get anything to boot after useng it I gave
up, it never occurred to me it may be a "bug".
I will look for the next user lists letter or feel free to e-mail me, if there
is anything I can do to help.
