Trying to use installhigh/loadhigh doesn't help and, in fact, crashes MS-DOS 6.22 (error messages from FreeDOS). There are argument differences in himem and emm386: MSDOS: (from Datapol's documentation) DEVICEHIGH=a:\HIMEM.SYS /NUMHANDLES=128 /TESTMEM:OFF /Q FreeDOS: DEViCEHIGH=a:\fdos\himem.exe MSDOS: (based on sheer guesswork) DEVICEHIGH=a:\emm386.exe noems FreeDOS: (based on suggestions) DEVICEHIGH=a:\fdos\emm386.exe x=test memcheck vds noems max=256M Does this spark any ideas? It looks like chasing another K of Upper memory won't help. It also looks like installhigh/loadhigh isn't the way to go. (Thanks to Eric Auer for suggesting that or I probably wouldn't have noticed the significance of that autoexec.bat file). Thanks again for the great support! I appreciate it a lot.

[Freedos-user] NTFS4DOS and EMM386 - the solution!
Good day, all: OK, I am AMAZED at Datapol's technical support. I sent them the boot floppy and received a patched version of NTFS4DOS and received the following e-mail: - I've played a little with FreeDOS and NOT using UMBPCI. I found that the extender we use in the standard package (DOS/32) doesn't fit together with EMM386 well. I changed the extender to CAUSEWAY and now I get 612KB lower memory free. Hope this helps [...] If you need the same hack for future versions you also und unbind DOS/32 from NTFS4DOS.exe and rebind it using CAUSEWAY. Both extenders are free available. - Works like a charm. Conventional Memory 636K 103K 533K Upper Memory 64K30K 34K And, this was with NTFS4DOS creating a RAM disk. :-) Thanks for all of your help (especially Eric Auer and Michael Devore!

[Freedos-user] Is there a maximum partition size in the FreeDOS kernel?
Good day: Trying to do a DIR on an NTFS partition, one of my friends is getting the following error: Divide error, stack: FB3C 158E 0246 14CB 38C8 6AE5 158E 7939 38A4 What's the size limit on a partition for the FreeDOS kernel? I believe this was a 160GByte partition, but I'm checking to be sure. I don't have anything that big to test with! The large size seems like the first place to look. Thanks again for the great support. Mark --- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
