That's strange ... coz if I remember correctly, the help page that comes up during the install process said that FreeDOS FORMAT doesn't do FAT32 yet. Which is why I cut short the installation process, went back to Win XP, created my partition and formatted it there, and then came back to the installation process. > > > you prolly don't want FreeDOS's bootcode to be installed on C: (since > > you'll have XP bootmanager or Win 98 on your C:) ... so be sure to > > answer "NO" to that question by the install program, and then manually > > do a "SYS D:" (or whatever is your drive letter) from the command prompt. > > Perhaps the installer can give the user a chance to run SYS on a drive > other than C: or at least tell him that he's about to do "SYS C:"? I agree with that. More so, coz this is the part that messed up things for me earlier. If I had known it was going to do "SYS C:" I would have told it not to do so. Apart from that, I'll also suggest keeping a backup copy of the current bootsector (before overwriting). But that is already there in the next release I think ...
