No, allow access to the internal hard drive. If I'm booting into a live environment, it's usually to do some sort of troubleshooting. Disabling the ability to read the HDD would defeat the purpose of booting it for me. :) Thank you for everything, -Random On 11/14/2019 6:27 AM, Jerome Shide

I just picked the file at random because I think it had a button command in it. Every time I type button it says "can't find msg 1.6". I figure a written file would get it right without the error. So where can I find a dos version of FLTK. Sounds interesting. With your extenive knowledge I was sure

Hello Jerome, Actually I am also curious to know what mechanism you will be using to limit access to internal hard drives. (I suppose it should be possible to use LASTDRIVE= in a config.sys file to make the hard drives invisible from DOS's view. But the hard drives will most likely still show

I don't what happened to my copy command. Last try it worked It is just move now that has a problem. I think TCL loaded something that interfered with copy for awhile. I think "move" is affected by the 2 gigs I have loaded; it thinks the drive is full for some reason. cheers DS On Wed, 13 Nov 20

Hello Jerome, Yes. Prevent access to internal hard drive. No. Allow access to internal hard drive. Neither. Instead, include in boot menu to select either. People have been getting used to non-HD boot media enabling repairs, which typically means changing something on the HD. Disabling that en
