Luis, what you suggest is for running syslinux within a Windows DOS box, which isn't quite my situation - I'm booting 'pure DOS' of the Win98 flavour. Is there a known way to get syslinux to work in that situation?I have used a few versions of syslinux for DOS and found some aggravation:
- Under Win98 pure-DOS boot (i.e. io.sys, msdos.sys, command.com
only) I can never recall having had syslinux c: (or even syslinux -s c:)
work:
- I get an error: "Error 440D: Unable to lock drive for exclusive
access"
- I've tried issuing a "lock c:" but that didn't fix it
- So I boot up under DOS 6.22
- and thus I'm thankful that I have 'old' FAT partitions and not
FAT32 (or else DOS 6.22 can't see the partition).
For that, use "Syslinux.EXE -s C:"
Works like a charm.
syslinux.com is for plain old DOS
syslinux.exe is for win32
Searching about, including the google & the syslinux maillist gives a few other people who have encountered the same 440D error (some other LEAF user have encountered this situation) but no resolutions.

Syslinux ver 1.76 (same as uClibc 2.2.0b4) - for DOS:

Other people having the 440D error (many with CF, Bering, etc): http://www.zytor.com/pipermail/syslinux/2002-February/000161.html http://www.zytor.com/pipermail/syslinux/2002-February/000162.html http://www.zytor.com/pipermail/syslinux/2002-November/001230.html http://www.zytor.com/pipermail/syslinux/2002-November/001228.html
There may be some clues in these - I've tried variations of them and found that DOS 6.22 was only thing that works.
