Re: [Freedos-user] Restoring XP bootsector (yes, I goofed up!)

Hmm, so from what I read here, it seems FreeDOS FORMAT *does* support FAT32 formatting. I guess this means the help page that pops up during installation should be modified to reflect this. It is that page that told me FreeDOS FORMAT doesn't support FAT32 yet ... Coolio! :) -

Fdisk your unpartitioned disk, reboot, and format it. Then try running SCANDISK and/or Windows Setup. Errors showed up in the past. No idea if this still happens with current FreeDOS FORMAT when creating a FAT32 filesystem on C:. The current FORMAT 0.91r works fine with FAT32. I checked the so f

Re: [Freedos-user] Restoring XP bootsector (yes, I goofed up!)

created and formatted this partition in Win XP (coz FreeDOS's format doesn't support FAT32 yet) FreeDOS FORMAT does support FAT32. I've recently used the latest FORMAT release (0.91r) to create a FAT32 file system so I can confirm it. you prolly don't want FreeDOS's bootcode to be installed on C

Re: [Freedos-user] Restoring XP bootsector (yes, I goofed up!)

Hi all, Just thought I should write in to report that everything's sorted out now. I rebooted my machine using the Windows XP CD and went into recovery console. Here I type "FIXBOOT C:" and that restored my XP bootsector. After that I rebooted, and I was able to chainload this using GRUB ... mea

[Freedos-user] [anounce] diskcopy very minor update

Hi, I am releasing again a newer version of diskcopy because i was not fully satisfied with the previous one. The only difference with the previous version is that now, when the first sector is not writable, the program still continues and asks you for an other disk. You can find it at: http://
