OK, hang on. You did not give us much info at the beginning. 32 *MB* RAM? Megabytes? That is a very old laptop, then. As in around 25 years old? > The bios settings has only the listing to change the boot sequence order > between FDD and HDD. It does not have support for booting from a CD? Then it is vintage kit, and no, I don't think anything in the gigabyte range will work. DOS-era machines had many limitations on IDE disk support, and depending on age, the biggest disk they will support could be 512MB (½GB), 1GB, 2GB, or maybe for later ones (e.g. PowerMac G3), 8GB. 32GB is well over all of those and it's much much too big. Secondly, how are you attaching an SD card to a DOS-era machine with 32MB of RAM? That is before SD existed. It's mostly before USB too -- maybe USB 1 at best. If you want to boot a DOS-era machine from removable mass storage, try the PLOP boot manager. https://www.plop.at/ -- Liam Proven ~ Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk ~ gMail/gTalk/FB: lpro...@gmail.com Twitter/LinkedIn: lproven ~ Skype: liamproven UK: (+44) 7939-087884 ~ Czech [+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal]: (+420) 702-829-053 _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
