Re: [Freedos-user] Rufus error messages
Looks like a BIOS issue. What hard drive/chipset options do you have when you enter the BIOS? The online docs I'm able to find don't show a whole lot of configurability.

Re: [Freedos-user] Rufus error messages
I figured it out. USB Operation Mode at High Speed interferes with Freedos installation and USB flash drive booting. ACPI Suspend Type at S3 also interferes with Freedos installation. I haven't actually installed Freedos yet, but I can get a listing of the partitions on the hard disk with fdisk. After installing Rufus I ran dd to put an image on the disk (compressed file from chtaube.eu/computers/freedos/bootable-usb/FreeDos-1.1-memstick-2-2048M.img.bz2). This was before I figured out the BIOS settings which interfered with booting. When booting from a flash USB drive, I can't access the hard drive, DVD drive, or the USB hard drive. I can access the USB flash drive fine, at least with the dir command. -- Want fast and easy access to all the code in your enterprise?

Re: [Freedos-user] Rufus error messages
Here is my autoexec.bat file below. Note it has uide.sys and shsucdx already. I don't know if the options are correct for my system, though. The last time I messed with DOS was about 15-20 years ago when I didn't have a CD Drive, let alone a DVD drive. By the way, it plays Blu-ray disks too, don't know if that matters. The only difference between using FreeDOS-1.1-memstick-2-2048M.img.bz2 and the manual HOWTO (http://chtaube.eu/computers/freedos/bootable-usb/howto/) as far as the autoexec.bat file goes is one has mouse and the other ctmouse. @echo off set lang=EN set PATH=%dosdir%\bin set NLSPATH=%dosdir%\NLS set HELPPATH=%dosdir%\HELP set temp=%dosdir%\temp set tmp=%dosdir%\temp SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 P330 set DIRCMD=/P /OGN if %config%==4 goto end lh doslfn SHSUCDX /QQ /D3 IF EXIST FDBOOTCD.ISO LH SHSUCDHD /Q /F:FDBOOTCD.ISO LH FDAPM APMDOS if %config%==2 LH SHARE REM LH DISPLAY CON=(EGA,,1) REM NLSFUNC C:\FDOS\BIN\COUNTRY.SYS REM MODE CON CP PREP=((858) A:\cpi\EGA.CPX) REM MODE CON CP SEL=858 REM CHCP 858 REM LH KEYB US,,C:\FDOS\bin\KEY\US.KL ctmouse DEVLOAD /H /Q %dosdir%\bin\uide.sys /D:FDCD0001 /S5 ShsuCDX /QQ /~ /D:?SHSU-CDH /D:?FDCD0001 /D:?FDCD0002 /D:?FDCD0003 mem /c /n shsucdx /D goto end :end SET autofile=C:\autoexec.bat SET CFGFILE=C:\fdconfig.sys alias reboot=fdapm warmboot alias halt=fdapm poweroff echo type HELP to get support on commands and navigation echo. echo Welcome to FreeDOS 1.1 echo. -- Want fast and easy access to all the code in your enterprise?

By the way, it plays Blu-ray disks too, don't know if that matters. Dunno, I haven't used a lot of CDs in DOS in recent years either. I think I tried it successfully, but honestly, I just don't have a lot of stuff, just a few random old games that obviously weren't that urgent for me to get working (at the time). I should probably test some more. Of course, without sound (and whatnot), they are sometimes less enjoyable. Here's a snip from my setup: 123?DEVICE=C:\UTILS\XMGR.SYS /N128 DEVICEHIGH=C:\UTILS\UIDE.SYS /S127 /D:FDCD000 /H shcdx33f /Q /D?FDCD000 /~ @echo off set lang=EN set PATH=%dosdir%\bin I don't see DOSDIR set here at all! :-P lh doslfn SHSUCDX /QQ /D3 Can't remember if that's correct. Don't know if LFNs are needed in most cases. Try disabling DOSLFN, for now. http://help.fdos.org/en/hhstndrd/base/shsucdx.htm Okay, so where's the device name? And why reserve three drives? IF EXIST FDBOOTCD.ISO LH SHSUCDHD /Q /F:FDBOOTCD.ISO Mounting an .ISO, eh? :-) Then I guess you don't need UIDE at all. FYI, I never use this. If it works, good. Sounds messy, though. I don't know if it's getting confused here or not. But definitely I am! :-) In other words, I just use the files directly and don't try to read from .iso. Presumably it shouldn't be hard to extract the files and manually copy them over. LH FDAPM APMDOS You should probably disable this, for now. if %config%==2 LH SHARE I don't even know how well (FD) SHARE works for us (incomplete?). ctmouse Disable this, for now.

Okay, so indeed you are trying to use three optical (CD/DVD) drives?? shsucdx /D No idea if this is required three different times.

If you can't access any hard drives, then something else is going wrong. I'm honestly too dumb to know what I'm talking about here, but you'll have to enable legacy mode that doesn't use SATA or AHCI or whatever. If your machine doesn't allow that, then you're out of luck. Now, if you meant you can't see your (empty) hard drives in order to partition them, you may want to use SPFdisk, which allegedly could support SATA (not that I ever tried). So FD FDISK might not be able to. -- Want fast and easy access to all the code in your enterprise?
