Does your livecd have gparted? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Roy Vestal Sent: Tuesday, August 01, 2006 3:40 PM To: Triangle Linux Users Group discussion list Subject: [TriLUG] Here's a fun one - bootable DOS partition under linux
Ok...I need to be able to boot from my live cd, create a FAT32 partition, make it boot able, then remove the live CD,and reboot to the HDD into DOS. Now, I have the partitioning down: sfdisk /dev/sda < ./disk.info - where disk.info = 1,730,c,*. This creates a 6GB Fat32 (LBA) partition set to bootable. Formatting: mkdosfs -s 8 -F /dev/sda1 And I have the DOS IO.SYS MSDOS.SYS and COMMAND.COM copied in THAT order. When I try to boot, it just doesn't. It's like there is no FDISK. DOS tools are not an option here. It *must* be created with linux. Any ideas?
