hi Matt
I ran fdisk from prompt, I could create logical C: drive and access it but =
couldn't format it; at ending the particion process it asked me if wanted t=
o format the drive, I entered yes and it said the format failed; then I tri=
ed FORMAT C: and command doesn't exist; I suposse that's why MKDIR failed a=
t C:.=20
Anyway I ran my game from the CD and it's still slow. I'll try changing to =
the protected mode bank switching that Rod Pemberton helped me to fix.=20
=A0
By now it's just missing the matter of the disk format ... then I hope that=
=A0with linear framebuffer o pm bank switching my program runs fast
thank you Matt

Hi

It's quite alright, I don't use DOS much anymore, but it's got a special
place in my heart, as does DJGPP, as it was my first C compiler.=20

1: Yes, the HD needs to be partitioned. It will probably be drive letter "C=
"
once partitioned. Then it needs to be formatted. See the previous link for
details.
2: I don't remember, but it probably is setup.exe or something on the boot
CD for FreeDOS.
3: Yes, once it is partitioned and formatted.

None of this is any different than how you would treat a real HD, save the
initial setup of the .VDI virtual hard drive file.


Hope that clears it up,
Matt

Matt, I'm sorry I'm bodering you so much with this item, but I belong to th=
e
ones that think djgpp will never die neither DOS, and I will run my game
with music under DOS though it is the last thing I'll do=A0 (don't know if =
I
failed with the expression .... I'm practicing my English)
=A0
let's go:
=A0
Do I need to partition my VHD? If I can't even access, and don't know the
letter (A, B, C, ...)=A0for that (virtual) drive ......
=A0
What about the complete FreeDOS installation? how do I do it?
=A0
Is there any way so that I can type C: [Enter] and then appears C:\>??? And
to copy from somewhere my game files to that C: (virtual) drive???
=A0
however, I'll take a look to the link you gave me

Hi,

Fdisk is for partitioning hard drives. This needs to be done before you
format a drive. This should help -=A0 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/25586=

Hi,

You should fdisk (to partition), then format, just like on a real DOS
install. Or do the FreeDOS install and get it all done at once.=A0 Sounds l=
ike
your getting there!

Matt

hi guys
I have just edited the configuration of my virtual machine,
=A0
went to "Storage" (almacenamiento) and it says IDE controller -> Storage
Tree -> Pablito.vdi (with a drawing of a hard disk) and host unit F:=A0 ...=
.
but for the VHD (Pablito.vdi) it doesn't appear C: nor any letter .... I
tried touching everything there but nothing
=A0
Am I closer to my solution by there? can you help me?
