I am fully aware that BIOS used to be updated in MS-DOS. I am 41 years
old, older than some people who seem to be experts on this and
probably older than Liam. Stefano, did you ever successfully update
your bios? Reality is, Windows 95 dos and Windows 98SE DOS is not
really dos per se and Windows
Eric:
Some version of Windows is what Dell expects him to have to update his
BIOS, that's where that came in. ReactOS didn't fully start for him
when he burned it to a DVD and tried to boot that DVD, but that isn't
surprising considering that ReactOS has not even reached beta status
yet. If he
ade programme. But alas,
alack it is not to be.
As a best guess would putting ReactOS onto a memory stick overcome
this
problem?
Before I progress to Liam's options is there any other option you can
think of.
Thanks and wait to hear

Got it, some end of the 32 bit era early 64 bit era laptop is what you
have then. Interesting. Kubuntu 18.04, that is very current. It's okay
if you don't have Zip or LS120 handy, I wouldn't go get one. So you
have an external and internal CD burner that works, and I imagine you

A couple of questions, what model DELL laptop are you trying to update
the BIOS on? What level of Windows or even MSDOS for that matter was
the laptop originally designed to run? Clearly, this laptop has some
USB so I'm guessing those are probably two USB 1.1 ports and I'm
thinking the laptop is
Ditch the memory stick even if you can do this from inside DOSBOX
directly on top of Linux. It's worth a shot even if you have to swap
in MS-DOS 6.22 temporarily or Windows 98SE DOS prompt temporarily in
DOSBOX. If you can do this from within DOSBOX, you don't have to go
get any media you may not
Is your laptop SATA based internally or EIDE based? If you are EIDE
based, you are actually in great shape. All is not lost either if you
aren't EIDE based. Can you get away with something like a ReactOS
0.4.13 live CD to sort of give you Windows long enough to run the EXE
and upgrade your BIOS?
I'm sorry Ralf, when did I actively characterize Richard Stallman
alone as God's gift to the problem of software monopolies and hardware
monopolies etcetera? That doesn't seem to be a respectful thing to
push concerning Richard Stallman and what about other people in the
open source movement for
The license MUST be viral. Folks, anyone who complains about it being
viral doesn't understand it at all. Google is a monopoly. Google
doesn't like the GPL because Google wants to lock up Android and data
mine everyone on the planet.
How is your free gmail account after all? You have no privacy
First off, I think too much has been said and a lot of it is
troubling. Partially and undeniably because Richard Stallman is a hard
person for many folks to relate to. I've never met him, but I've known
for a long time that he has a really bad reputation as an anti social
individual. I've known
Jim,
Stallman is clearly a hard person to get along with. Part of the
reason is that Microsoft has been a monopoly for so long that the GPL
was the only way anyone could have a personal computer run something
not MS-DOS and not Windows NT in a realistic sense that they don't
have to buy a

Before Windows 2000, even in Windows 95, FAT32 was introduced with
supported for longer filenames than the 8.3 limit of Dos 6.22.
Fast forward to Freedos 1.2 and the need to use freedos to copy a
Windows 2000 installation to an external hard drive. I have the
Panasonic usb driver and another sys

Are you talking about aspidos.sys and di1000dd.sys? They work together
and they work
I found a site by George Potthast and unfortunately though I got his
USB2 driver to work for a while, it stopped working. Another concern,
he wants an atrocious amount of money for a copy that doesn't stop
working. I'd much rather donate $600 to the freedos maintainers to
advance the support of
