I need to reinstall Windows anyway, so I thought I'd try installing Freedos first since I have a USB flash drive that boots on two computers I have access to but not on my computer. I have already included my system information in the thread "Blinking Cursor when booting Freedos". I believe the problem two problems are related and boil down to BIOS settings or hardware incompatibility.
"Install to harddisk" and "Create drive C:" reboots the computer. "Boot from system harddisk" works right, bringing up the GRUB menu. I have multiple partitions and would like to install to the one of my choice. Any Ideas? FAQs I should read? For convenience the system info is reposted: Dell XPS 7100 BIOS ver A06 64-bit processor: AMD Phenom II X6 1055T USB Flash Drive: TOSHIBA TransM How-to used: http://chtaube.eu/computers/freedos/bootable-usb/howto/ BIOS settings: Secure Virtual Machine Mode: Enabled AMD Cool 'N' Quiet: Enabled USB Operation Mode: High Speed Numlock Key: On Keyboard Errors: Report ACPI Suspend Type: S3 Remote Wake Up:Enabled AC Recovery: Power Off Auto Power On: Disabled ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Want fast and easy access to all the code in your enterprise?
