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.

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). See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

The steps below assume that your disk drive is designated A: If not, substitute the drive letter of your disk drive. Download the BootFloppy files (DVDBootFloppyv1.0.exe) from our web site (http://www.port.com/support/tech.asp). See similar questions...

Before booting this floppy, take some time to explore its contents, as the disk has a filesystem on it that can be mounted and perused. To do this, insert a COPY of the Essential Utilities Floppy 1 (from now on, "the boot floppy") into the drive with a write-protect tab. Now, Because boot floppies vary from release to release, it would be most helpful to simply get a listing of the contents of your particular boot floppy. See similar questions...

Starting with version 4.0 of Unattended, we switched from MS-DOS to FreeDOS. Apart from general principles (we like free software), this avoids potential legal issues. But FreeDOS is still under development, and it occasionally has difficulty with some hardware. The UMB provider in particular can be somewhat touchy. Try editing config.sys to comment out the loading of EMM386.EXE, or to load UMBPCI.SYS instead. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

On modern system with harddisks >8GB you often have got the problem that you must use the new 0Fh extended partition (LBA) instead of the old sort 05h extended partition (CHS). DR-DOS 7.03 won't accept this new type 0Fh and won't have access to the data. A solution would be to use the old 05h partition type but then you would have access to 8 GB under DR DOS but you would be limited to these 8 GB under Windows 9x/NT, too. See similar questions...

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. 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. See similar questions...

Any DOS diskette that has been properly formatted contains some executable code in its boot sector. (There is some debate as to whether this code should be called a program or not. The important thing here is that this code is executed at system startup if the diskette is in the system's boot drive. See similar questions...

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 See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...
