Silly question since it's hard to tell, but did you make sure that it's a primary, active partition? Or maybe SYS.COM wrote the boot sector wrong? (Or maybe your BIOS needs / doesn't need an MBR on USB?) Also, I think you can maybe? override the LBA detection with SYS.COM. You may have to fiddle with some SYS.COM settings. It's kinda a crapshoot. Sorry I'm not more help, this kinda of stuff is arcane and tediously difficult (to me). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF email is sponsosred by: Try Windows Azure free for 90 days Click Here http://p.sf.net/sfu/sfd2d-msazure _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
