Hi all,
only one question, where is the equivalent to dd of=/dev/sda bs=1M in
MS-DOS/FreeDOS or Windows environment?
try http://pagesperso-orange.fr/dvalot/emtcopy.htm
it is a bit slow, but it works for most usb-drives.

Hi Jack,
what is the changelog of your latest uide.sys dated 11-24-2007 shipped

I thought, your drivers were gone forever.
If Lucho is allowed to use your drivers for his bootdisk, so why not
publish your drivers again at Johnson's website as closed source?

Hi Marc,
VFD (Virtual Floppy Driver) is a good, non-Vista, method of
editing floppy disk images. It mounts the image file as
a lettered floppy drive and you can copy files, do drag and
drop, or whatever. Executing the SYS command is the only
challenge - you pretty much need a pre-made

There you will find an application called bootdisk2bootstick v0.8.
This application can create a bootable usb stick using a bootable floppy

The only problem is that the usb stick is only 1.44MB in size after

for those using Freedos under VPC2004 you may find some strange
behaviour when trying to use some AltGr-key-combinations on german

For example inserting '@' or '\' in your autoexec.bat or config.sys

As a suggestion from Eric I also tried X=A000-EFFF to completely disable

It only works if I completely disable EMM386.
