If you press the F8 key during the message "MS-DOS is started..." is displayed, you are switched in the step-by-step boot process and are able to suppress the Windows start. Program Manager has a limitation on the number of groups that you can create. You are also limited to 40 Program Items per group. Remove a group/item, and try again. The install should work successfully. Look in the [windows] section of your 'win.ini' file.

Sure, you can. Create a primary partiton BEFORE your Windows partition (e.g. with PartitionMagic) and get a boot manager (I use the german tool 'Bootmanager', you can get a free trial version at http://www.bootmanager-pro.de).

No. Windows Me doesn't include Real Mode DOS, so it's impossible to boot the system into DOS mode or reboot the system into DOS mode. You can, however, use a Windows Me boot disk to boot into a command prompt.

A few people have reported this problem. It appears to be related to some CD drives that have DMA issues. If this solution works for you, would you mind sending us mail (linux-project@pcquest.com) telling us what CDROM drive and motherboard you use? Thanks! The file zlib-1.1.3-22.i386.rpm on the CD seems to be corrupted, and I am getting errors mentioning libz.so.1 The distribution supports this setup under certain circumstances, but you must follow a slightly complicated method.

Use the command map, to exchange BIOS drives virtually, like this: grub> root (hd1,0) grub> chainloader +1 grub> map (hd0) (hd1) grub> map (hd1) (hd0) I have a separate boot partition on GNU/Linux (or another UNIX-like system), and GRUB seems not to handle this situation correctly. Because GRUB is a boot loader and it normally runs under no operating system, it doesn't know where a partition is mounted under your operating systems.

This new 32-bit device driver only operates on a computer that has the WINDOWS 95 Operating System installed.

For CardTalk: Boot to a DOS prompt. Insert the CardTalk Diskette into the A: drive and at the A:\ prompt, type 'install' and follow the instructions. For CardWizard Pro: Go into windows and type 'a:\setup' from Program Manager on the Run command line <enter key> and follow the instructions. On reboot, the card service lines should display two driver letters. It might go too fast so press the 'F8' key when you see 'Starting MS-DOS.' This might take more then once to catch it on time.

Turn off the computer and check the power and ribbon cables for misalignment. Also, reset the ISA card and all the cables. Reboot the computer. If 2 drives still don't appear, switch the ISA card ribbon cable. Put the top ribbon cable on the bottom of the ISA card and the bottom cable on the top of the card. If this does not correct the problem, set the cables back to the original configuration.

A. We don't plan to support these, a bit, outdated operating systems, as these operating systems are too slow for the data synchronization between the phone and PC. A. We don't plan to support these operating systems In the most nearest future. But, of course, we will think about implementing such support. However, we don't have such expansions even in plans yet. A. Yes! We support MS Windows 2003 service since version 2.1.5.

Well, firstly we are developing a Windows user interface. This will be Win-32, i.e. it will run under Windows 95 and Windows NT. But since the compiler is a non-graphical application, and the DOS interface runs quite happily under all flavours of Windows already, it has not been as high a priority as making sure that the basic functionality is top-notch. In other words, we believe an excellent compiler with a DOS front-end is better than an average compiler with a Windows front end.

How do i boot into Linux after re-installing Windows? Windows seems to have overwritten LILO on the MBR.

You can configure your computer to start Windows 2000, Windows NT, and either Windows 95 or Windows 98. However, you cannot configure a computer to multiple boot Windows 95 and Windows 98. Both Windows 95 and Windows 98 use the same boot file. Therefore, multiple booting Windows 95 and Windows 98 at the same time is not supported. Your installations are less prone to problems if you install Windows 95 or Windows 98 before you install Windows NT and Windows 2000.

Remember, the IO is basically a standard pentium class PC with a standard BIOS and a 16MB flash memory card. Please read some of the messages in the "Technical" area on the I-Appliance Discussion Forum BBS, you will find many posts there talking about different OS's and how other installations went.

Windows XP does not have pure DOS mode, the only two ways are to execute "CMD"(preferred) or "COMMAND" from the run dialog box. If you want the real pure one, you can boot up from a DOS/Win95/98/ME boot disk or create one using Windows XP itself (insert a diskette, right click the drive in My Computer, Format, check Make System Disk) or you can install 2 OS's (like Windows 95/98/ME, which allows you to access pure DOS).

First, start up SmartDrive to speed things up. Next, run WINNT from the I386 folder. Setup should launch, warn you if you don't have SmartDrive loaded, copy the cd to a temporarily to your hard disk and reboot your computer. A more detailed guide.

There are no monitor drivers written and is not necessary for your monitor to work. The inf files are used in Windows 95, 98, 2000, and XP. As long as you have the 3.x drivers for your video card, simply set up the refresh rates using the timing guide in the monitor manual as a reference. Please contact your video card vendor for assistance.

All of our software is full 32 bit and therefore will not run under windows 3.x. However, it is fully compatible with Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows NT.

If LILO doesn't work, and if the machine has MS-DOS or Microsoft Windows, you may be left with a computer that won't boot. This can also happen on an upgrade to your Linux distribution. Re-installing LILO is the last thing that the installation does. So it is vitally important when installing or upgrading Linux on a dual boot machine, to have a MS-DOS or Windows rescue disk nearby so you can FDISK -MBR. Then you can go about using LOADLIN.EXE instead of LILO.

If you're running Pro, you can use GPEDIT.MSC to prevent Messenger from loading. Otherwise, even disabling it in startup won't cause it to "always" not run. Outlook, Outlook Express and some Microsoft web pages can still make it load. You can now modify whether it starts initially and/or whether it is to run at all. If you don't have Pro, run Windows Messenger, Tools, Options and uncheck "Run this program when Windows starts".

Go to Explorer, insert a floppy disk, right-click on the A Drive, click Format, check Make System disk and click OK.

Posted in Bootstrike Forums by wmccain] Windows XP includes TWO command-line processors, CMD.EXE and COMMAND.COM. The second one, COMMAND.COM, is a stripped-down version of the command processor from DOS. The Windows XP version of COMMAND.COM is severely restricted in its capabilities (lacks long filename support and many other features familiar from Windows 98SE), so it is all-but-unusable. Furthermore, it turns out that there are TWO ways to run CMD.

No. Windows XP is not based on DOS, as is Windows 9x. However, Windows XP does support a DOS-like command line environment, and you can run most DOS applications--and even many DOS games--in Windows XP. Windows XP also supports an optional boot-time command line environment called the Recover Console. As its name suggests, the Recovery Console is only designed to be used in the event of a system problem. To enable it, insert your Windows XP CD-ROM and type

The 200LX may be a few years old, but it is a far better computing device than any Windows CE machine. A few of its strengths: Pocket Quicken built in (keep track of your finances without spending any extra money for the financial software)

DOS is a Disk Operating System, that means it's an OS that uses a disk. Operating systems for IBM PCs since the early 1980s were called DOS. DOS consists of the command prompt, mostly command.com and two kernelfiles. That's a basic DOS system. DOS was a mainstream OS until Windows 95 (which also uses DOS, btw) threw it off the market.

The most common reason for this problem is the absence of a bootable master boot record or active partition on the target disk. When using the Copy a specific drive method to copy one drive to another, Casper Tech Edition does not replace the master boot record or change the active partition status on the target disk. In order to ensure the target disk contains a valid master boot record and the appropriate partition is marked active, it is necessary to use the Copy an entire hard disk method.

R-Studio works on Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP/2003 only. It will not work under DOS or another operative system which fits into one bootable floppy. Therefore, you should attach your hard drives to another computer which can boot to Windows, and then restore files on that computer using R-Studio. No matter how that system recognizes your drives, R-Studio should access it.

Yes, both grub and lilo can boot Windows from an NTFS Volume. What actually happens, is that the Linux boot loader finds the NTFS boot loader and gives control to it.
