Re: [Freedos-user] Docs for installing Freedos onto a USB drive

[Carlos Garces]

Hi!
"dd of=/dev/sda bs=1M" is the option used by Jari Turkia to mount one image in
a USB device (I don't have floppy disk)?
http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg05982.html

I don't know if diskcopy works on usb devices but I'll try this weekend (I
don't have Freedos in this computer)
I'll try also the dd version suggested in other mail

Thanks for your help
Carlos

[Freedos-user] No active partition found

[Carlos Garces]

Hi.

I'm using FreeDOS 1.0 + WinXP
Now (and I don't know why) when start I see
*"DISK **BOOT **FAILURE*, INSERT SYSTEM *DISK* AND PRESS ENTER"
If I use the windows CD, and boot from C: (without press any key) it 
works. HDD are ok. I can launch FreeDOS or Windows

I try to fix it with FIXBOOT and FIXBMR from Windows Recovery Console, 
nut no works
If I try FDISK /MBR from my Freedos 1.0 the msg change to
"No active partition found"
In FDISK I see the partition 1 of disk 0 as active but... I can`t boot 
from HDD.

¿Any help?

Un saludo
Carlos Garcés

Hi!

Now works.
I have load the image with ShsuCDhd made a clean install (deleting the 
fdos folder, maybe not is a good idea)
I can't launch the graphics installer, but TESTINSTAL.exe work (more or 
less), but I have some problems.

Some files are missing (maybe because y have the base cd), like the 
Spanish keyboard (SP.KL)
I need the full distribution if I want a localized version of FreeDOS?

Un saludo

Uhh... not work SHSUCDX said undefined error 4...
I not use CD under FreeDOS, I had SHSUCDX  with /qq and not see the 
error before today, booting with F8 :( maybe I have a error in my 
config.sys... I'll check my SHSUCDX config and try again.

Hi.

I'm try to load the iso with
ShsuCDhd /F:C:\FDBOOTCD.ISO
But something it's wrong. Image is load at device 0 ... ¿what is device 
0? ¿how map the device 0 with a letter?

The iso it's ok (I check the md5), and the CD it's burn without any 
error. I don't know why unzip fails in the gzip image decompression...

The error is

Eh... ¿where is fdbootcd.iso? I can download fdbasecd.iso and 
fdfullcd.iso form 1.0 but fdbootcd.iso is from 0.9
I can try to rename fdbasecd.iso to fdbootcd.iso.

[Freedos-user] Problems instaling 1.0

[Carlos Garces]

Hi!

I'm trying to install FreeDOS from a fdbasecd image.
The computer boot OK with the CD and I can select the options form the 
menu, but when I try to install FreeDOS, one gzip process fails while 
decompress with a message of overflow ¿?

The old version (I don't remember maybe beta 9) works ok.

Any help?

Un saludo
Carlos Garcés
