oops — I killed the Windows7 professional to install a „bare metal“ FreeDos on
it, naively thinking to get rid of other helper OSs …
I just installed FreeDos on an ITX and harddisk. I can read and
write on the disk and the Usb Stick, if I boot directly from the
Stick. It doesn’t work the other way round, i.e. booting from the
disk and trying to D: (=USB Stick) to read/write.
You need to change the boot order in the BIOS, to boot from the HD
(with the stick inserted).
This doesn’t work here.
The stick is not recognised when booting from HD with stick inserted.
In this case, the Freedos startup screen (shall I say?), prints „3 disks
available - no disk assigned“. I looked up the ASSIGN command but this doesn't
make sense to use in this case? Something is recognized but not accessible...
You probably hit the snag in the FreeDOS CD installer that I ran into a
month or so ago as well. I still think there is a logical error in that
whole process somewhere, but just didn't have the time in real life to
try and narrow this down... :(
