I repartitioned, put the HD into installation target Dell laptop as only HD, then installed by booting the 1.2 CD to a prompt, then: A:\> FORMAT C: /S /U /V:HI60P03FD12 Then I created C:\FDOS and copied the content of C:\BIN to it. That too boots to just a dot and a cursor and no keyboard response except to CAD. I purposely did not create C:\FDCONFIG.SYS. Has this become a requirement? If so, what is its bare minimum? I tried creating one, but it didn't change the apparent result.
