Sorry, I may have misread your earlier post. I think my normal approach is
fdisk - set up partitions - reboot fdisk /mbr format c: lock c: syslinux -s c: copy LRP packages to disk (don't overwrite the ldlinux.sys file) although the order does vary slightly depending on my mood. Did you run syslinux -s c: after you ran fdisk /mbr? If not, you need to. Another thing, which version of syslinux are you using? I run Bering on 486's with CompactFlash and I can't get anything past syslinux-1.48 to actually work with this kit. > Thanks for responding. Yes, the DOS partition is marked as active.
