Re: [Freedos-devel] FreeDOS install

Hi! I've tried everything.I ran format /s,I ran Fdisk,I've made the harddrive bootable.But when I go to boot into the harddrive,my laptop just restarts. There are various pretty technical reasons that could cause this: BIOS and DOS disagreeing about geometry when you run SYS or FORMAT versus

Hi, It stated this exact error: This version of rufus only supports bootable ISOs based on bootmgr,EFI,Grub4DOS,GRUB 1,isolinux or winpe.This ISO does not use either... If you got that message, then I don't believe you were using the fd11src.iso (SHA1:

Re: [Freedos-devel] FreeDOS install

Hi! Just a quick remark, the last time that I had issues booting from USB stick (for some antivirus boot tool) it was because the boot stick generator tool had failed to put a bootable MBR on the stick and mark the partition as bootable. When you KNOW that that is the problem, it is easy to fix

I don't believe FD1.1 supports what you're looking for. You need your BIOS to support special USB HDD as DOS drive emulation or maybe you can read up on this FreeDOS USB technote [0]. Some vintage BIOSes only had EDD 1.1 [1]. If you were lucky you had EDD 3.0 [2]. Apparently, there was even a

Re: [Freedos-devel] FreeDOS install

I experienced similar issues on my laptop which also lacks a CD-ROM drive. The current FreeDOS installer seems hard coded to install from a CD-ROM, as the only way I was able to get it to work was using an external drive via USB. Hope this helps. On Tue, Jun 2, 2015 at 5:16 PM, JAYDEN
