Re: [Freedos-user] Problem with bad or missing command interpreter

2006-02-27 Thread charlie_chan


I had a problem last night with MS-DOS which yours is similar to.
I had added a line of code to the config.sys file which conflicted with 
the last
line in the config.sys file, which involved device drivers for cd 
players.  The
command.com was not loaded on the next restart.  I kept entering 
c:\command.com until the

command prompt appeared.  Then I kept entering 'edit config.sys' to get
access to the config file.  The first time config.sys loaded it was empty.
So, I rebooted and started over.  On the second reboot, I got the command
prompt to load rather easily (3 tries) and the config.sys file loaded 
properly.

I removed the bad line of code and rebooted.  All was well after that.

Hi,

I tried to install FreeDOS Beta 9 SR 2 and I ran into the problem that 
I got the message Bad or missing command interpreter when I try to 
boot from HDD after the installation. There are two interesting things:


1. The message appears before (!) I can use the configuration menu (in 
FDCONFIG.SYS)
2. The problem disappears when I insert the disk I created from 
fdos1440.img (but I definately boot from HDD)


It'd be nice if I'd be able to use FreeDOS without the floppy disk.

I have a single HDD in my PC and I tried to create both a FAT16 and a 
FAT32 partition but the effect remains the same.
