I bought a new laptop in good shape, a Compaq Presario 1200 a couple of
days ago with a view to installing and trial runnning FREEDOS. I FDISKED
the Compaq using FREEDOS FDISK 121 to establish the partitions and that
worked fairly well.
Then I installed FreeDOs FROM the CD using the Compaq's CD drive. The
installation was fiddly as hell and took an hour compared to the typical
20 minutes it usually takes me to install PCDOS7-2000 in an empty
computer. When I was all done Freedos refused to run. Is this normal
with FREEDOS or am I doing something wrong. Replies from anyone who has
successfully or unsuccessfull installed FREEDOS would be appreciated.
Never had an issue I can recall. It does take a while to install. I
just usually select all the defaults and that's all.
