Day after observation: I am getting an A: drive redirect when I try to copy files by "COPY" command. One file will copy to the desired directory and then it searches for the A: drive. Would this be a glitch from the installer? On Tue, Feb 2, 2016 at 8:35 PM, Jerome E. Shidel Jr.

Very impressive "beta?" installer. I tested it several ways; the test machine is a Compaq Armada 1750 Laptop, PII MMX with 320MB ram a 60gb hard drive and a CDROM drive. 1) Installed over existing FreeDOS 1.1.1 2) Installed with a blank formatted C: drive 3) Installed with a non-formatted drive.
