Hi Michael:
First, let me say thanks to you and Eric Auer and everyone
else for the amazing support I've gotten in my efforts to
learn and use FreeDOS. I've used many commercial operating
systems, and this level of support is better than I have
seen with any of them!
OK, here is the config.sys file I used with emm386. Note
that including NOEMS on the command line causes the
installhigh to FAIL with:
DOS/32A fatal (1002): DOS reported insufficient memory
I was able to write these files directly to my NTFS
WinXP disk while FreeDOS was running. I have also
enclosed the same things from UMBPCI.
Note that, as nearly as I can tell, the NTFS4DOS program
did not load into high memory using emm386.

So far, NTFS4DOS INSTALLHIGH works with UMBPCI but not
with EMM386. I have 213K of conventional memory free when
running NTFS4DOS from the command line or using INSTALLHIGH
with EMM386 and 550K of conventional memory free when
using UMBPCI.
We need a MEM /F report on the 213K conventional memory. If that
doesn't show extended memory, a MEM /X report, as well.
