Hi John,

BIOS and partitioning disagree about CHS geometry and
your partition type 0b is FAT32 CHS. You could switch
to FAT32 LBA where geometry is irrelevant. Note that

Hi John,
As usual when I present problems on these mailing lists, the solutions
are complex. Nothings easy! I also have a tendency to not explain
completely. Usually I'm pretty precise. I am not running any MS
Windows on this computer. I am running the DOS 7.10 from Win98 on

Welcome to computers, where easy means hours of work.

Hi John,
to clarify, I ran sys c: from a freedos floppy to write over the win98
OS with freedos. that is how this all started.
Ah, so you do not need Win98-DOS any more? That is easy :-)
Actually the question then becomes: Apart from the FreeDOS
warning about geometry, which is mostly

Hi again,
given that I have very little information about your problem and
situation, I just give you a very big pile of ideas - maybe there
is something useful in it, or maybe something to ponder further.
First of all, I did not make myslf clear. I was not running win98.

I have a disk with Linux and win98 dos on it. I opt with function key
to select which OD.
Default is DOS. While in DOS, I executed sys c: from a floppy that I
downloaded from the fd site. Now when I boot to this OS, I get, after

John,
I've been using SuSE/openSUSE for over a decade without ever having seen a
boot menu that uses function keys for selection. This suggests you've been
using some boot loader other than one from openSUSE, one which was probably
installed either in the MBR or in the partition the floppy
