What kind of hard drive did you take out? Was it a serial ATA hard drive or an IDE hard drive?
Have you considered trying Freedos 1.3 RC2? Make sure you aren't in AHCI mode?

The laptop came shipped with a custom Freedos version from Hp, I installed Win10 on a second drive, had some problems and need to return the laptop. I took out the second drive, and the win bootloader was still there. I accessed the Efi partition and erased the windows bootloader, but doing this I must have made some mistake, and now the laptop wont boot in Hp dos too. So, I downloaded Freedos 1.1/1.2, created a bootable usb with it, restarted on usb and accessed the installation prompt. Problem is, installation is stuck in a partitioning loop: after partitioning, the installer starts again anew. I checked, and the installer can only see my usb, not the hdd inside the laptop. Message is:"SETUP wasn't able to locate any disks to install FreeDOS 1.1 from." What am I doing wrong? I enabled legacy support in Bios. I formatted my hdd in Fat. I think that the installer can't see the hd, and don't know why. Is it because of the hdd format (I made it MBR)? Are there some hdd requirement I m not aware of? If someone can help me about this, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and good luck for the emergency.
