Hello Usul My friend did go and download the file and he did make a boot floppy. My screenreader program are working. Now I can do the full instalation.

Because I sure don't know. If I had to guess, I'd say that USBASPI was getting in the way of the partition creation but not the removal, which still doesn't make a whole lot of sense. --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

[Freedos-user] Re: test boot floppy
Hello Usul Thank you for the information. How big is this file? I only have dialup and I use a 'autoserver' at Trieste to go and fetch files for me.

Sincerely, Usul -Original Message- Sent: Wednesday, March 15, 2006 6:21 AM Hi Friends I am new to Freedos, first I wish to make a bootfloppy, since I am blind I want to see if I will be able to use my screenreader program, it does work from msdos 2 - dos7.. The freedos file I have is about 20meg in size and there is a lot of talk of 'gui' that I do not need, what should I use to make a bootfloppy just for a test please. The computer I use for dos7 is a pentium 120mhz only a hard drive and not cdrom drive, the files I have has been taken from a cdrom, using a 'backpack' external drive connected to the paralel port. The dates are mostly 2004 and one 2005. I did look for a 'makefloppy' file but did not see one.
