Yes, as long as you boot the FAT32 enabled kernel, then it should be able to access FAT32 partitions fine. The kernel scans for supported partitions during it's initialization phase and will assign drive letters to found partitions no matter how the kernel was loaded (drive letter order may be effected but not ability to access).

HP (and a few other vendors) install FreeDOS on their hardware as a low-cost alternative to Windows, but we don't have any relationship with those vendors. I'm making a guess, but I think your question is because HP distributes a really old version of FreeDOS (I think FreeDOS 1.1) and you would like to download FreeDOS 1.3 (the latest version)? As Liam said, download the FreeDOS 1.3 LiveCD from our website at http://www.freedos.org/download/ and use that to install FreeDOS on your PC. You will need to "write" or "burn" the LiveCD image to a CDROM or other install media to boot it on your computer.

First of all, Thanks Hello Maruko. Welcome to the list. A few things you should know: * You post to a mailing list by sending a mail to the list address. Don't reply to someone else's post and change the subject. That is called thread hijacking and it's rude. * You should bottom-post, meaning when replying your answer goes _underneath_ the trimmed thing you are replying to. * You can download FreeDOS from the website you presumably found this list from: http://www.freedos.org/download/ What do you mean by "tests with your equipment"? The FreeDOS project doesn't make any equipment. If you're asking about HP kit, ask HP. FreeDOS is nothing to do with HP; HP just puts FreeDOS on some machines to avoid paying Microsoft for Windows licences. -- Liam Proven ~ Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk ~ gMail/gTalk/FB: lpro...@gmail.com Twitter/LinkedIn: lproven ~ Skype: liamproven UK: (+44) 7939-087884 ~ Czech [+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal]: (+420) 702-829-053 ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
