I guess the other thing, which I thought I had used with FreeDOS, is to hold down Shift as DOS boots, which does the same as F5: skips processing of CONFIG.SYS/AUTOEXEC.BAT. > One other thing - the service tag you're using, that matches the > service tag shown in the F2 BIOS setup? I thought something similar: there seem to be 3 variants of the D5030, using Intel and AMD chips -- which must also mean a different motherboard and chipset, as AMD and Intel chips do not work in each other's motherboards or even fit into each other's sockets. An Intel BIOS won't work in an AMD board, and an AMD BIOS won't work on an Intel board. For at least one variant, revision A02 looked to be the latest. -- Liam Proven – Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk – gMail/gTalk/gHangouts: lpro...@gmail.com Twitter/Facebook/LinkedIn/Flickr: lproven – Skype: liamproven UK: +44 7939-087884 – ČR (+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal): +420 702 829 053 _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
