You are going to need to download this: ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp39501-4/sp39596.exe And then you need to download Jerome's FDI image and and substitute the AHCI.SYS driver for the UIDE/UDVD driver. On my Acer laptop and that's the only thing that works for me. This will give access to

R ALT-X works for me on a 2014 Acer Aspire E5 Laptop. I wonder if the root of this issue is that there no longer seems to be a keyboard standard (as we knew it in DOS); where TSRs were the norm. I have several TSR programs connected to either Left Shift or Left CTRL and my favorite TSR

I booted from the CD not USB , but my extreme test machine has 3 hard drives wth various "C" drives among them. Even with XOSL hiding partitions, I think the installer may not be prepared for setting drives beyond "D;" "lastdrive=Z" notwithstanding. Your rewrite should do the trick.
