Rayman Bathurst- Hi, -I'm impressed with your cred with CP/M and PDPs. But, maybe you're so experienced that it's difficult to ask questions as a newbie? I mean, did you skip right into Windows from there or do you have any experience with IBM-, MS- or DR-DOS? Also, for example, it's difficult to understand what you mean by "idiotproof" without explaining your purpose, like: why would you want to do such an unusual thing? For any 32 or 64-bit PC or evaluation board, on a fresh SSD, you'd want to install a tiny linux, bsd, or even risc-os (on Raspberry Pi) first, and emulate or dual boot DOS in one way or another from there. It's hard to imagine why one would want to do what you ask (unless a hacked antique PC or 16-bit board maybe?). I went from Apple ProDOS, a VAX account in college, to 68k Mac, then DOS. It was a challenge to self-teach myself back then, but I feel like I have some DOS cred now. Additional note to Ghostdewolf: I never trust "Linus Tech Tips" or any Youtube video that starts with some guy making bizarre or shocked expressions in the intro: they're exploiting algorithms that indicates that faces with strange expressions attract clicks, not to mention exploiting Linus Torvold's name. Sure, Linus isn't too unusual a name, but I'm certain with "tech tips" he's purely exploiting the name for marketing purposes. I curse Google's Adwords for letting this get out of control on YouTube. Anyways, an explanation of what the exact application is here would help those of us who know DOS and SSDs, but who have never attempted this particular task because it's too impractical for 99+% use cases.
