I tried that, but got errors there too, varying according to choice of drivers loaded at boot. > http://www.linfo.org/freedos_floppy.html That helped. After continuing to get failures from dd, it made me think to try a different/third machine/floppy drive (running OS/2), and got rawrite to make a floppy that enabled me to boot and FORMAT C: /S. Chkdsk (0.9) isn't reporting filesystem type. Is that usual in FreeDOS? My C: is 243M, which I had expected to use FAT16B and have a smaller cluster size than 4096, but I guess I'm just rustier than expected on FAT stuff, or am I? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

The above command works fine for me and creates a bootable 1.44MB 3.5" floppy which includes the SYS & FORMAT commands -- Lotusphere 2011 Register now for Lotusphere 2011 and learn how to connect the dots, take your collaborative environment to the next level, and enter the era of Social Business. http://p.sf.net/sfu/lotusphere-d2d ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
