Hi Alain,
Sorry for the delay, my WinXP crashed after 3 years torture.
Keyboard and display are configured for Brazil/cp850. The US keyboard
config is already available in the autoexec.bat for easy editing.
A bit tricky, I fail to type backslash ...
I was thinking of a more scientific way of

Hi, I got some strange problems with DEVLOAD:
If I use it to load any of my ramdisks, FreeDOS
becomes unable to cd .. or cd \, but you
can still cd somewhere or cd x:\somewhere\

Is this worked

Sorry for skipping all the text, your personal style a bit too long.
As I know TDSK easily causing hang up or crash if the size is too

You can install FreeDOS on a new computer and have it dual-boot
with Windows XP as well. This doesn't harm the WindowsXP

The person who did this is very knowledgeable and believes that

Yesterday I'm lucky that I got a IBM eServer to play with, and

So I got the dual SCSI RAID-5 ready and install FreeDOS, and I found

You're right.
I'm just want to TEST, to see if FreeDOS can work on Xeon server

Well, why not? Modern home PC mainboards already support RAID (not sure
if they do RAID 5, though) and the CHEAPEST (if you check the per-GB price)

No. Most of them is RAID 0/1 or 0 + 1 only.

Hi Gerry,
Old OSs, including DOS, Win3.xx and NT, were not aware of this extension
and therefore always need an overlay program to use large hard drives .
That means Win98 FDISK ignore the INT13 extension.

The correct procedure should be:
