I made my own DOS implementation (Announce)

OK, I use levy16032024 now.
Lets start from beginning:
I boot up from A: and execute directly "format c:" or "format drv:c"
format shows that there is no HD, no cylinders, sectors, etc.
It seems that the HD is not found although it is inside. What has to be done
to get an fdisk/format access to it? If I remember right, it has NOT to be mounted when running such a basic thing?
When I execute "setup" it suddenly offers the HD informations and runs format.
But: After rebooting I get a boot message: ......ERR that runs through.

After booting from diskette I entered "sys c:" and get an error message.
Only the example for "sys" explained the reason: "sys drv:c" has to be entered
.
After this I rebooted from HD and I get a boot message: ......ERR that runs through again.
As "drv:c" is unusual for me, would it be possible to add it at all commands where it is needed? Thx.
So much for now.

Fritz
