DOS ain't dead - WDe and GPT, booting DOS

WDe and GPT, booting DOS (Users)

posted by Japheth , Germany (South), 24.10.2022, 10:56

Hello,

recently I added support for GPT to WDe ( no binary available yet ).

I tried to boot MS-DOS 7.1 from a GPT-partitioned disk ( via GRUB ), but that failed. Elaborating the problem one can "see" that the boot sector(s) of the FAT32 partition run correctly, IO.SYS is found and some sectors of it are loaded at the correct address, but after IO.SYS has taken over, the boot process stops.

Is there a known solution to this little problem?

And - does FreeDOS or DR-DOS behave better?

P.S: Please don't ask why I would want to do such things!

---
MS-DOS forever!
