Well, I think I have found the problem, but not the solution. If I type "ctmouse", the system says that a COM mouse is installed, but my mouse is PS/2. The problem is that when I type "ctmouse /p", the system says that it's unable to find a PS/2 mouse. How can I say to FreeDOS that my mouse is n

Ok, you moved from one impossible thing to another. DOS can only boot from the first disk... BUT maybe a trick that I found some time ago can help: Grub can remap disks, I used it to move Windows XP, so it may work for DOS: # Windows XP SP2 title Windows XP rootnoverify (hd1,0

Well, seems that booting FreeDOS from a extended partition is impossible or at least very har, so I have make a primary partition of 1GB on my secondary disk. It's called "hdb2" by Linux. Know the problem is that when I try to install FreeDOS, xfdisk says that my new partition is hidden. I don't k

If i understand correctly, "root (hd0,5)" is because it is in an extended partition. No DOS can boot from extende partitions. I recomend that you use GPARTED and move it to a primary partition. Alain Enbor . escreveu: > Hi, I had installed FreeDOS and now I'm trying to to boot it using > Grub,

Hi, I had installed FreeDOS and now I'm trying to to boot it using Grub, but I can't get it. The partition in which I have installed FreeDOS is a logical partition (maybe that is the problem), called hda6 on linux. So I have been trying to boot by adding this entries to my Grub's menu.lst (a diffe
