RUFUS is s good tool to format and boot FreeDOS from USB. Some USB Sticks DON’T work. I have no idea why. Try also different partitionings (in RUFUS possible) For me VERBATIM USB sticks always work. I can boot from one (C:) and have a second also attached, which becomes D:, both work.
I had a bunch fo cheap sticks, FreeDOS doesn’t even recognise. good luck Thomas > Am 12.02.2026 um 20:10 schrieb Jakob Stengård via Freedos-user > <[email protected]>: > > So i installed freedos on a pre-formated compact flash card. > As it turns out, the computer won't boot from the drive. > > Now, i have re-formated the drive and put all the files back. > Can use some command on the boot disk to just write the MBR, > or do i need to run setup.bat and will that work? > > I don't want to run all of the installer again, that took 3 hours last time. > > Many thanks. > -- > > Med vänlig hälsning (Best Regards) > Jakob Stengård > _______________________________________________ > Freedos-user mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user THOMAS CORNELIUS DESI Artistic Director MUSIKTHEATERTAGE WIEN Neubaugasse 33/1/9 1070 Vienna, Austria [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> t +43 699 1084 0030 www.mttw.at <http://www.mttw.at/> The content of this email is confidential and intended for the recipient specified in message only.
