[Freedos-user] FreeDOS driver issues

2011-07-16 Thread Virii
Hi. I was wondering if someone could answer a few questions I have about FreeDOS. First of all, I'd like to get some more basic problems out of the way. After downloading the 1.0 'full' cd iso, and burning it to a disc, I was unable to boot into 'live' mode. I know now this is due to my PC only
