Hello,
the unattended v4.0 test 1 release includes:
Free FDISK Version 1.2.1 Written By: Brian E. Reifsnyder
-and-
FreeDOS Format Version 0.91m Written by Brian E. Reifsnyder (and several contributors).
the result is strange:
0) There is one hard disk, completely empty.
1) I disabled the large filesystems in fdisk (aka, I disabled FAT32) and
created a primary DOS partition by using the maximum available size;
2) I rebooted and ran format C:, this one tells me strange things about
FAT32:
Almost formatted FAT32 drive as FAT1x, phew... *** Formatting 2046 Mbytes as FAT32. *** Cannot find existing format - not saving UNFORMAT data. QuickFormatting (only flushing metadata) Warning: Resets bad cluster marks if any. KLUDGE: Operating system left filesystem info sector and / or backup boot sector configuration empty. Options: set them to NONE or set them to an useful value. Selecting: info sector NONE and NO backups. FAT32 Backup Boot Sector feature not used. Info sector feature not active. FAT32 root directory: pre-allocating 2 clusters (less fragmentation).
However, MS DOS v6.2 does work with this formatted partition and I could
install a WinXP through network fine.
Bye,
