Re: [Freedos-user] Need help reformatting disk for clean install of FreeDOS

Okay, so I guess I did it correctly. Now that I have FreeDOS installed, how do I get sound to work? I have a ESS Solo-1, I believe. I forgot to copy any drivers before I installed FreeDOS. On Sat, Jul 13, 2019 at 8:02 PM Mercury Thirteen via Freedos-user < freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net>

IIRC, you just use FORMAT without the /Q switch. Sent from ProtonMail mobile Original Message On Jul 13, 2019, 7:29 PM, HTV04 . wrote: > Too late for that, haha. > > How do I force a full format like the installer would do, though? > > On Sat, Jul 13, 2019 at 7:27 PM Dale E

Too late for that, haha. How do I force a full format like the installer would do, though? On Sat, Jul 13, 2019 at 7:27 PM Dale E Sterner wrote: > One thought, you could replace your c: drive with > a cf chip from Komputerbay on Amazon. Just > pull out the old hard drive and replace it with an

Re: [Freedos-user] Need help reformatting disk for clean install of FreeDOS

One thought, you could replace your c: drive with a cf chip from Komputerbay on Amazon. Just pull out the old hard drive and replace it with an IDE adapter and cf chip. You can save your old c: drive so can get back your old system by just plugging it back in, if you ever want 98 back. cheers DS

Re: [Freedos-user] Need help reformatting disk for clean install of FreeDOS

I tried formatting the disk, and it worked, but it still showed up as a Quick Format, even though I only typed format c:. Is this normal? I guess I’ll just skip trying to perform a full format and install FreeDOS. Thanks for the help, I now have FreeDOS working on my computer! On Sat, Jul 13,

Re: [Freedos-user] Need help reformatting disk for clean install of FreeDOS

I would like to do a clean install of FreeDOS though, and makes sure the C: partition is completely wiped by doing a full format on it and reinstalling FreeDOS. On Sat, Jul 13, 2019 at 7:17 AM Eric Auer wrote: > > Hi! > > Actually if YOU have no problem with Windows 98 files > still being on

Re: [Freedos-user] Need help reformatting disk for clean install of FreeDOS

Hi! Actually if YOU have no problem with Windows 98 files still being on your FreeDOS C: drive, then there is no need to format, partition or delete anything. Of course you are free to use the normal DOS commands to delete those files which you no longer need. You could even install a boot

Re: [Freedos-user] Need help reformatting disk for clean install of FreeDOS

Thanks for advice! I don’t want to mess with my current partitions though. Is there a way I can just format the existing C: partition (with the format command)? And should I do this from the CD-ROM? If so, how? On Sat, Jul 13, 2019 at 4:45 AM Mercury Thirteen via Freedos-user <

Re: [Freedos-user] Need help reformatting disk for clean install of FreeDOS

I would: 1. Run FDISK and delete all partitions 2. Create a single Primary DOS partition and mark it active 3. Exit FDISK and reboot 4. Run FDISK /mbr to fix the boot record 5. Use SYS c: to transfer system files to the hard drive Then you should be good to go! Sent from ProtonMail mobile

[Freedos-user] Need help reformatting disk for clean install of FreeDOS

Hi, I’m new to FreeDOS. I wanted to revive my old computer (a Compaq Prosignia 150) that originally had Windows 98, so I set up a CD-ROM with the FreeDOS installer. When I booted from the CD-ROM, everything seemed to be going smoothly. I had to use the “raw” workaround, though, otherwise I would
