Below is the copy of the post that Rajagopal sent to me by private email instead of posting on the forum.
------- My name is Rajagopal. From Malaysia and i'm using this "FREEDOS". Currently i'm using "DOS 6.22" which is connected to network (Server Win2K).Now i try to load this FreeDos in to my machine. But i getting an error message as bellow : - [dos mem corrupt, first_mcb=0273 prev DD9A:0000|4D ...... notMZDFF:0000|00 ...... panic: mcb chain corrupted system halted] here where i'm not upgrading any RAM to my pc, using exiting RAM (no changes). So for this error message how to solve this problem? your help very much appreciated if can help me on this problem or any advice/suggestion thanks in advance rgds Gopal.p ------- 1) Rajagopal, the error message that you are getting is identical to the message that I got after upgrading RAM, but your system setup is completely different. I run FreeDos from the dedicated FreeDos Fat32 partition on a multiboot system on a single computer. You say that you didn't touch your ram or made any other changes, which is quite unusual. You can try to use my Fdconfig and Fdauto and if the error disappeared, work from there (replace the drivers one by one to the ones of your choice). The following startup files work ok on my system: ------------ Fdconfig.sys FILES=50 BREAK=ON STACKS=9,384 LASTDRIVE=Z BUFFERS=20,0 NUMLOCK=OFF DOS=HIGH,UMB DOSDATA=UMB DEVICE=D:\FDOS\BIN\QXUMBPCI.SYS DEVICE=D:\FDOS\BIN\QXHIMEM.SYS /N128 /T7 DEVICEHIGH=D:\FDOS\BIN\QCDROM.SYS /D:CDROM1 /UF /I /L /X DEVICEHIGH=D:\FDOS\BIN\CDRCACHE.SYS CDROM1 CDRCACH$ 12 DEVICEHIGH=D:\FDOS\BIN\SRDXMS.SYS DEVICEHIGH=D:\FDOS\BIN\NANSI.SYS /S INSTALLHIGH=D:\FDOS\BIN\LBACACHE.COM 8192 SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM /P=C:\FDAUTO.BAT Fdauto.bat @ECHO OFF PROMPT $P$G SET DOSDIR=D:\FDOS SET NLSDIR=%DOSDIR%\NLS SET HELPPATH=%DOSDIR%\HELP SET PATH=%DOSDIR%\BIN SET TEMP=E:\TEMP SET TMP=E:\TEMP SET DIRCMD=/P /OG /A SRDISK.EXE 8192 SHCDX33C /D:?CDRCACH$ /V /~+ /Q+ CTMOUSE.EXE ECHO CuteMouse Driver Loaded FREE.EXE ------------ 2) Also, I would suggest that next time you have a problem post it on the forum instead of sending a private email. In case you are not aware of all the options of monitoring FreeDos forums here is a brief summary.
