Hi all,
sorry for the likely trivial question from a FreeDOS newbie.

I'm trying to access a physical 5.25/360KB floppy drive connected to an old PC whose BIOS does not support that kind of drives (only 5.25/1.2M or 3.5). I've been suggested to try some DOS utilities, so I'm looking at FreeDOS as a way to run them.

The PC is a dual boot WinXP/Linux, with each OS installed in one of the two connected hard disks; i would like to avoid messing with the current hard disks setup if possible, meaning that installing FreeDOS on the hard disk is not an option, so I burned a FreeDOS liveCD and booted successfully the system from there.

However, as far as I understand now both A: and B: drives are simulated by FreeDOS, hence my question: is there a way to boot FreeDOS from LiveCD AND have A: drive to refer to the physical drive, or alternatively to assign a different drive letter (Z:) to the physical drive?

Thanks!
Marco
