My first question is: does this actually have a BIOS, or is it UEFI-only? I don't know the Atom netbook hardware, at all. It's probably UEFI, but boot into the UEFI "setup" program and see if it has a 'Legacy' setting. That would emulate BIOS for a legacy OS like FreeDOS (or any DOS). _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
