Did you , after formatting the HD, partition? 2.) are that config.sys and autoexec.bat at Floppy? If so: The Devices couldn't be find on C:\ before the installation is completed on C:\ (For Instrallatin-Disk the system have to read at A:\!) Teilhard Knight schrieb am 28.01.2003: --------------------- Hi: I've been trying to install DR DOS in my computer, to coexist with other operating systems (WinXP and Linux). However, I have my disk partitioned and blank to install DR DOS first of all. I know it cannot boot from a logical partition, so I installed it in a primary partition. Problem is: the system (with only DR DOS installed) wouldn't boot. The only thing I could find in a way of help is that there is possibly a conflict in memory. I am not knowledgeable of how DOS (or any other OS for that matter) handles memory, but I have tried to remove some entries in the config.sys file which make me think handle memory and I have had no success. My config.sys file is: DEVICE=C:\DRDOS\EMM386.EXE MULTI DPMI=ON FRAME=NONE DEVICE=C:\DRDOS\DPMS.EXE DEVICE=C:\DRDOS\SETVER.EXE SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM C:\ /E:512 /P BREAK=OFF BUFFERS=80 FILES=20 FCBS=4,4 FASTOPEN=512 LASTDRIVE=C HISTORY=ON,512,ON COUNTRY=3,,C:\DRDOS\COUNTRY.SYS DOS=HIGH,UMB DEVICEHIGH=C:\DRDOS\VDISK.SYS 32736 128 64 /E DEVICEHIGH=C:\DRDOS\DISPLAY.SYS CON=(EGA,,1) DEVICEHIGH=C:\DRDOS\ANSI.SYS %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% My autoexec.bat file is: @ECHO Off PATH C:\;C:\DRWDOS;C:\DRDOS EMM386 PIC=ON DPMI OFF KEYB LA+ VERIFY OFF PROMPT [DR-DOS] $P$G SET TEMP=C:\TEMP IF NOT DIREXIST %TEMP% MD %TEMP% SET DRDOSCFG=C:\DRDOS MODE CON: CP PREP=((850) C:\DRDOS\EGA.CPI) NLSFUNC C:\DRDOS\COUNTRY.SYS CHCP 437 SHARE /L:20 GRAFTABL 437 NWCACHE 7670 1024 /LEND=ON /DELAY=OFF ?"Enable Task Manager (Y/N) ?"TASKMGR %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% By the way, I installed DR DOS making a DR DOS boot disk, and then running the install.exe from the first installation disk, because the MSDOS 6.22 startup disks simply couldn't see the partition, and when I started with the installation disk 1 the installation just was a fake, it didn't write anything in the partition. I would appreciate any help. Teilhard. ---------------------
