Well, that's no good. > The partition does not seem to be created/formatted properly. > > C:\>fdisk /clear > ERROR: Sector not found, AH=0x42! Ah, that is not going to work. This part is running under dosemu, which does not provide access to the entire disk; only the C:\ drive. So commands like "fdisk" will not work here. > fdisk_cmds = "fdisk /clear 1;fdisk /prio:4000;fdisk /activate:1" Whoa, where did you get "fdisk /prio:4000"? That asks for a 4G FAT16 partition, which is "impossible" because of the cluster size needed. Although FreeDOS allows it as an extension... So FreeDOS fdisk allows it... But I have no idea what Parted will do here. I bet it does something bad :-). Try "fdisk /pri:4000" instead. And I will add a check in the fdisk->Parted command conversion to error out in cases like this. - Pat ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
