If you want to experiment, you may have to customize a floppy specific to your PC; then re-burn a CD with your floppy image. I had to do this with an HP Elite 8000. I eliminated the eltorito.sys driver and loaded UIDE and it worked fine after that. (also had to do a similar workaround with a Compaq

I simply took another PC, now it works. Got freedos on the hd. Only thing that would be neat is USB mouse support. Read about USBMOUSE and added dos=high device=himem.exe device=usbaspi.sys device=di1000dd.sys to FDCONFIG.SYS - unfortunatelly without success. Is a special driver for that 25pin s

Yes, the fdllrs.iso is burnt on a CD-R. Didn't verify the checksum and didn't burn on slowest speed. How does a manual installation work? Use a linux live CD and copy a few files on the hard disk? Yes, it's real hardware. It's an old Fujitsu Siemens Desktop with 500MB RAM. Don't got the specs r
