Good morning, Michael, Eric, et al: The addition of NOEMS to the EMM386 startup in config.sys caused the following error when executing the INSTALLHIGH. DOS/32A fatal (1002): DOS reported insufficient memory It did eliminate the complaints about page frames and no suitable UMB memory block.

Hi Flo: Thanks. This traditional technique requires reinstalling Windows. You can do it without reinstalling Windows at all by shrinking the WindowsXP NTFS partition in place. I wrote up a detailed procedure for this which is on fdos.org somewhere or you can look at www.k1ea.com/hints

[Freedos-user] Live FreeDOS CD with NTFS4DOS - Testers Needed!

2005-07-12 Thread Mark Bailey
Good day: I thought some on this list might be interested in testing ntfs4dos and FreeDOS as well. The announcement is for amateur radio logging software users, but the CD should be generally useful. I have permission from Datapol to redistribute NTFS4DOS, so this CD is legal. If you want the

Hi Michael, Against all my fitting inclinations to maintain a non-development stance -- especially since this isn't really a bug in HIMEM -- I added the capability to HIMEM to grow an existing XMS block, when possible. Thanks! Actually GVEdit grows the XMS block very often (in multiples

Hi Michael: First, let me say thanks to you and Eric Auer and everyone else for the amazing support I've gotten in my efforts to learn and use FreeDOS. I've used many commercial operating systems, and this level of support is better than I have seen with any of them! OK, here is the config.sys

Hmmm... with emm386: ntfs4dos uses at total of 24 MB XMS and 330k low RAM, plus 64k data area. With umbpci: only 16 MB XMS and 52k UMB space, plus 64k data area in low RAM. Very strange. If both was on the same PC with the same NTFS drives connected, then NTFS4DOS reacts in some weird way to

Hi Michael: Thanks again for the help. That didn't change the symptoms at all from just using NOEMS...still get the error from DOS/32A! What does DOSDATA=UMB do? I am booting from a USB floppy drive most of the time...occasionally from a CD with a 1.44MByte floppy disk image. Development
