You could put fdconfig.sys on your new C: and edit it to point to D: for all filenames. Then you only need one FreeDOS file on your primary harddisk and can boot the rest from the secondary disk. > Now what can I do to make FreeDOS see D: as C: and vica-versa? If you want to keep the primary disk totally clean from FreeDOS (not even fdconfig.sys on it) then you would have to tell GRUB4DOS to swap the drives entirely. This means that GRUB4DOS will have to stay in RAM all the time... The option / method is called "mapping", I believe. You could also tell GRUB4DOS to modify the partition table on the fly and make the partition on the primary disk hidden before it actually boots DOS. Then you would also have to tell it to un-hide it again before you boot the other OS on the primary disk, of course. > Or how can I tell it to look for it's stuffs on drive D:? You can tell it by putting a fdconfig.sys on C: :-). Then you only need one FreeDOS file on C: and can tell FreeDOS that all other stuff is on D: :-).
