I think Dissecting DOS it is not. It explains the MBR but says it is
something independent form the O/S.

Hi,
I've got an old Laptop, 486 DX 100, 20MB Ram, 325 MB FDD without CD-ROM.
I got a 70 MB Partition (/dev/hda1) on it for DOS; as I don't like to
use Software I don't
own, I decided to install a free alternative, in this case FREEDOS.
I used Laplink (ll5.exe) to transfer the contents of

Try a regular SYS C:. I almost sounds as if you are missing the
kernel on your hard drive, although this shouldn't have happened.
FDISK /MBR
This does basically the same as SYS C: BOOTONLY

Hi Blair:
No, I think the FDISK /MBR writes a MASTER BOOT RECORD to the
hard disk. SYS writes a VOLUME BOOT RECORD to a disk partition,
and (if you omit bootonly) copies kernely.sys and command.com
to the partition. These are different things.

Hi Johnson,
I'm glad this one now starts to make sense. Regarding not being able to
get 1.3.0 beta, surely it's included in the official Beta9sr1 release?
I got only 1 CD-Writer in my office (notebook's docking station), and
it's always taken by someone. That's why I usually download updated

This could well be a limitation with MS-DOS. There were certainly

Hi Bernd,

Any Windows which can boot into DOS has an easy way of installing:
-download ISO to c:\fdbootcd.iso
-create bootdisk
-boot from bootdisk, which should find the ISO file automatically.
There is a really neat free Windows program called VFD

which I use all the time. It allows you to mount a file
as a floppy disk and assign it a drive letter under Windows.
You can use diskcopy to/from a real floppy disk (if you have
one) or
Hi (odd thread subject for this topic...),

This is okay if you have a way to copy the ISO... Or if you have a
(even non-bootable is okay) CD-ROM drive...
I'd rather download
The OpenGEM Release 4 family of software has now been updated.
The best little FreeDOS GUI is getting more stable :P
OpenGEM Core, Complete, Experimental and Deutsch have been updated to
include a metafile driver that was previously missing from OpenGEM
Release 4. The lack of this driver caused

Hi Bernd,
I'm extensively using WinImage. Too bad FreeDOS DISKCOPY isn't as
flexible as either WinImage and RAWRITE yet.
I'm using EMT4WIN 4.35 by Daniel F. Valot, it's free.
And it can create self-extract DOS EXE!
