files associated with the machine or you will lose your FreeDOS drive. You can move the FreeDOS.vdi file if you want but you will need to play around with the VirtualBox Media Manager to make it available to FreeDOS after the move. Tony Richardson __

[Freedos-user] Dell Optiplex 790 - installation problem

I'm trying to install FreeDOS 1.2 on a Dell Optiplex 790 with 4GB memory and a 250GB drive. It hangs up at base\chkdsk (1.1 does also). Nearly as I can determine, I have the latest bios version - A18. I think Dell used to offer these machines with FreeDOS. Can anybody help me? Thanks --- This

Hello, I've installed Freedos on a USB stick and rebooted. When I select either of the first 2 boot options, Divide By Zero / Stack Overflow is displayed endlessly, and scrolls off of the screen. I could use some help troubleshooting this, as I'd really like to get UMB & Expanded memory working.

I already know how to make USB drives DOS (msdos) bootable and write bootable images to them. The Freedos Installer does not allow the selection of a USB drive in order to install Freedos to. The only drive the installer would see is the C drive, which contains XP Pro- but XP sees the USB drive j
