DOS ain't dead

EDR-DOS FAT28 corruption (most likely NOT due to EDR-DOS) (Users)

posted by Guti , 27.09.2013, 13:10

I created a new empty disk, and using MS-DOS 7.1, proceed to create a new partition on it (FDISK), and formated it using DRFORMAT (Udo's version of FreeDOS format).

It worked fine, and started an MS-DOS 7.1 XCOPY command in order to duplicate everything on my C drive to the new D one. After some files copied, it gave an error about impossible to write on drive D. After that using a DIR command, it showed strange directory names on it, so FAT was probably corrupted.

After that, I booted with EDR-DOS 7.01.08, and DRFORMATed again drive D, in order to XCOPY from inside it, everything to D. It seemed to work fine, so I guess the problem could be more related to some MS-DOS 7.1 kermel/utilities issues with FAT-32, or either some kind of interoperability problems (no all implementing FAT-32 handling the same).

Will wait some days with this setup before confirming it is OK.

Thanks.
