The usb is not really C:. The ports might help with that. I stick my USB always 
in the same USB port and it's always F:. I think if you boot from it the USB 
will be automaticly assigned to a USB port drive letter. Also with a harddrive 
C: Is already there because that's default for the first drive/partition.

Is this right???
My explanation is a bit bad...

Onderwerp: [Freedos-devel] FDI USB stick

Well, I just got some feedback from a Facebook user who really really wants the 
USB stick installer and tried that image I made.

He had 4 problems, but was still happy it mostly worked.

1) he had to manually start setup.bat. Which prompted for the "full shell 
command line" 

humm...

2) detected OS, but choosing backup gave an error message. 

Proceeded without doing backup.
Install ran "smoothly" to 100%

3) system files transfer failed, error message. 

He manually did sys L: C:
L: being the USB stick.

4) noted it installed to drive d:

It was supposed to be C:, but was happy he now had the FreeDOS files on the 
computer.

I though that if you booted from a USB stick, the stick would be drive C:. It 
has been a very long time since I made one. Is that incorrect? Or did he boot 
just boot normally and install from the stick? Most of the issues he described 
may disappear if in advanced mode. I made it as a hard drive C: inside a vm 
installing to a drive D:. Worked fine, although I did not test backup process 
in that situation.
