I am having a problem with FreeDOS and partitions. Here is the issue: I am tryin to install FD on a Dell PC with an 80 gb partition. I tried as I prefered it spliting into 4 partitions, and as one large partition. When I boot into the live CD all seems fine, but after it does the formating and installing, I get a bunch of errors about the partitins. Looking at the fdisk informations they seem to get changed from 20481 to 20489. Not sure why. Can anyone check to see if this happens to them? Is there a size limit currently for partitions?
