I did a HDD installation excepting the suggestions of the install routine. That seems to work. Then I made a boot floppy from the HDD installation. I used the same directory structure, changed the drive letters, and deleted some stuff from autoexec.bat. Based on directory dates it appears I did all this Nov 2007.
It has worked well since. I now moved the HDD to new hardware. If I select boot 1 or 2, fdconfig.sys gets about to the end and cannot find command.com. However, the floppy with the same fdconfig.sys boots OK. Screen echo and files are below. Make any sense? TY Ray * * * LBAcache..... Detecting HDDs XMS allocated....
