___Freedos-user mailing listFreedos-user@lists.sourceforge.nethttps://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-userI was informed that the ELTORITO driver was only good for booting from CD. This is why the driver is not automatically installed to the hard disk.However, some users have reported that it has worked for them as a general CD driver when booting from the hard drive.  You can just boot the LiveCD again and copy the driver over from the CD onto the hard drive. It is located in the \FREEDOS\BIN directory. It should be copied to the same location on the hard drive.Then reboot from the hard drive. The CD initialization process will automatically try that driver (when present) if the others don’t work.Jerome___

[Freedos-user] Missing CDROM drive

I have a Thinkpad X301 (I think a perfect fit for FreeDOS). I was able to
install to C: from the FD-13LIVE CD and it loads a driver for the CDROM as
ELTORITO, but when I boot after installation it fails on the first attempt
to load a cdrom driver. The install of ELTORITO point to www.nu2.nu/eltorito
but there is nothing there. I am so rusty on DOS and I need some help.
