Hi

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

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, bu= t 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 dif= ferent 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 the
ones that = think djgpp will never die neither DOS, and I will run my game
with musi= c under DOS though it is the last thing I'll do (don't know if I
f= ailed with the expression .... I'm practicing my English)

let'= s go:

Do I need to partition my VHD? If I can't even access, a= nd don't know the
letter (A, B, C, ...) for that (virtual) drive ..= ....

What about the complete FreeDOS installation? how do I do= it?

Is there any way so that I can type C: [Enter] and then a= ppears C:\>??? And
to copy from somewhere my game files to that C: (v= irtual) drive???

however, I'll take a look to the link you gave me

Hi,

Fdisk is for partitioning hard drives. This ne= eds to be done before you
format a drive. This should help - http://support.microso= ft.com/kb/255867

Hi,

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

Matt
