WDe and GPT, booting DOS (Users)

posted by Japheth Homepage, Germany (South), 22.11.2022, 09:52

Hello,

well, that's a lot of text...

Honestly, I'm not totally sure if you know what you're doing - and that's a precondition for using the DOS71BSG thing. Another precondition is that you're quite familiar using a disk editor, preferably WDe - but apparently you didn't even read the WDe docs, because there it's clearly stated that this tool can access drives on a logical [ C:, D:, ... ] and physical [ HD 0, 1, ... ] level.

I wonder how did you get the "modification" to /dev/sda3 without knowing how WDe can write to a physical disk?

If such a message appears, it most likely means that the bootstrap code has successfully read the kernel from a FAT disk and launched it, but after that DOS itself is unable to "mount" its C: drive.

MS-DOS forever!
