Hi Jeremy:
I hate to sound like an idiot (!) but how do I tell
what BIOS this box has? It's a fairly new HP desktop.
I'll see whether the BIOS setup menus say anything about
that when I reboot.
Windows says this is a M-SYS Dell Memory Key USB device.
Under Properties/Volumes, Windows says:
Disk: Disk 6
Type: Removable
Status: Online
Partition style: Master Boot Record (MBR)
Capacity: 62 MB
Unallocated space: 0 MB
Reserved space: 0 MB
Volume:
D: Capacity: 62MB
Let me get over to Linux and see if I can figure out how to use
partimage to give you the image. The first 512 bytes (hex)
are:

What brand is the USB stick? and the BIOS you're booting from?
The usb stick is being treated as a hard drive, including a fake mbr
(with partitions), correct?
I see FAT16 versus FAT32 makes a minor difference, but not much.
If possible, would you send to me (depending on size and how much effort
you want to put into it, either email offlist or upload to fdos.org) at
least the 1st few sectors (the mbr and bpb of the partition are what I'm
really curious about) or a complete image of the disk.
Part of the above is to get a better understanding and part is to see if
I can reproduce the issue locally.
Please let me know the effects of 1st setting the kernel to forcelba
(sys config kernel.sys forcelba=1) and then of disabling lba (sys config
kernel.sys globalenablelbasupport=0) [I think you only need the 1st 3
letters, ie glo=0]
Thanks,
Jeremy
