[Freedos-user] Newbie Q - How do I get a USB flash drive operating please?

2013-02-03 Thread Andrew Robins
I'm stumped I'm afraid - how do include the requisite instructions in fdconfig.sys (and? autoexec.bat) to have USBUHCI and USBDRIVE resident and functional in a fresh Freedos 1.1 install? I'm in the process of constructing small DOS games environment on a 2Gb sd-card drive (IDE adapter). The

PS. Begging pardon - the zip file I mentioned earlier was USB19.zip from Jack Ellis and, I see from Bret Johnson's USB support forum, a colourful debate there on UIDE/USB extensionality I am too dense to fathom. Also - usbhosts showing 2 OHCI and 1 EHCI (2.0) usb ports, matching the BIOS. I'm

My advice to anyone trying to use a USB storage device on FreeDOS is to first try using the BIOS. First realize that USB drives will be FAT 16 for smaller devices (1G or less) and FAT32 for larger devices. So find a device which is small or make sure you are using the FAT32 enabled FreeDOS

Thanks cordata2 and Mark - no I've tried repeated reboots while ironing out the kinks in my re-install, chiefly to get my autoexec.bat working nicely, and while the BIOS detects the USB flash drive on bootup, no letter is automatically assigned to it (although I must test the ports at the rear).

cordata2 - I stand corrected, and absolutely flabbergasted. Pleasantly surprised indeed - troubles with a dying floppy drive had me flip a spare usb-floppy over to the test rig, and on reboot I tried B: and bang - there was my usb-floppy! (Not asking me to swap the floppy in the infernal A drive,

Be sure to check drive letters by actually accessing the files that you know are on them. If your system has an NTFS partition -- or ext2 or any other file system that FreeDOS can't read -- the drive letters will be off. For example, my drive C: is NTFS and D: is FAT32 (both on a hard drive).
