Don't use the BIOS harddisk utility, just set up the cylinders/heads/sectors and boot a DOS install disk to do the partitioning/formatting.

I tried one more time.

1 - I noticed that the hard disk was left with only 499kb. Is that correct?

2 - I pressed F1





3 - The hard disk did not work again. any ideas?

You have to run fdisk first setup the partion then restart and then format.

Yes that's correct, sectors that don't contain data are not written to the CHD. It will grow bit by bit after you partition, format and install DOS on it

Thanks for the tips !!! :-D


MS-DOS 6.22 successfully installed


Next step, how do I install the cd-rom ?

Just copy the drivers from your boot disk (in the screenshot above it shows the CD ROM driver successfully loaded) to the new system and put the corresponding lines in your CONFIG.SYS/AUTOEXEC.BAT

Within the disk, there was a file with some instructions.

I copy the file to C:\dos

I modified the autoexec.bat

I modified the config.sys

And this error happened


Any idea ?

I think your ISO is corrupted causing DOS to freak out. Try with out the ISO and see if it boots ok.

This test, I had not mounted the CHD in CD-ROM
