Re: How do i set the size of the mounted drive?

Posted on 2004-02-09, 03:32

Sorry, I am just as confused as you - but on a slightly higher level:) This is from the DOSBox ReadMe.txt: 4. To mount a drive with 870 mb free diskspace (rarely needed! experts only): mount c d:\ -size 4025,127,16513,1700 It looks like the size parameter is some combination of numbers? Disk sectors …

Hi guys, great thread! DosFreak, if/when the document for Deep Thought is made, please include a note that for a Shuttle FN41 (AMD/nForce2 board), disabling the on-board NVIDIA Ethernet controller allows Windows XP to create an EMS memory. More info in a post I made at nForcersHQ . -- MiniMax - " …

And another question, what overlay option means ? For me, the 'overlay' function allowed me to view a game on my TV in full-TV mode, while still running it in a windows on my TFT screen :cool: I have to say, that the colors and everything looks *so* much better on the TV than on the TFT screen. -- …

Woa - go slow now. Re. your friends system - assuming you get it work with copying/changing stuff from drive to drive, how do you intend to solve the problem of drive letters? Is the Win98 installed to C:\WINDOWS or D:\WINDOWS (do a FIND /I "C:" on SYSTEM.INI and WIN.INI). If it is installed to C:, …

As was posted previously, if the Win9x installation is on the primary master, and the NT/2K/XP installation is elsewhere, you should be able to go into the drive manager and 'soft'-shuffle the drive letters to make the NTFS boot drive 'C'. As far as I know (newer have, and hope I never will, tried …

But isn't BOOTSECT.DOS just a backup? Taking the C:\="some comment" branch doesn't make use of it, from what DosFreak was saying. . No, it is not just a backup. The C:\=..... notation is just a shorthand form for C:\BOOTSECT.DOS=...... You can have several different boot-sectors-as-files on the C …

Is this right: if you install W98 on C and then XP on D, not only does the XP overwrite the MBR on C, but it also overwrites the boot secter on C. So, booting actually boots C, which runs ntldr, which in turn reads boot.ini. And, if you select "C:\="Windows 98", this doesn't load the boot sector …

Really I wanted to do this in a way that I get a menu on boot up from which I can select which OS to boot. I didn't really want to have to run any sort of configuration tool. Did you have a particular partition manager in mind? I use Acronis PartitionExpert for managing my partitions, but any …

If you have a decent partition manager, it is no big deal. This is how it works: When your computer boots, the BIOS searches your hard disk(s) for a partion of type PRIMARY with an ACTIVE flag. The first such partition becomes the boot partition and this where the boot code/boot loader is loaded …

Hi desga2, I do not think I can exactly help you with your problem, but I am curious. Which operating system do you use with DOSBox v. 0.60? I use Windows XP Home, and my SHIFT and my CAPS LOCK keys works perfectly. Also, have your tried enabling a second language+keyboard layout in the Control …
