My new computer doesn't work. ABIT BH7 (845PE)
I'm using XP, and all four partitions are in NTFS. When booting to EXTRACT /E /L F:\SYSTEM DOSET.CAB>NUL, an error occurs. It always reads the C drive (NTFS can't be read). Can it be solved? Thanks!...
I'm in a hurry to use it :-)

There is a hardware problem with the 845 motherboard, and it is temporarily incompatible.

I found such a good software on my first visit. Thank you very much, webmaster!!!

hello

Great!~~~~~~~~~~~~

There are many boot options at startup, which are in English. Can you teach me?

The download address of the boot animation magic: http://sccnc.onlinedown.net/TycheCLogoMag.htm
The download address of the XrX Logo Addbar Utility: http://gz.onlinedown.net/XrXLogoAddbar.htm

If everyone is short of any software, go to www.baidu.com to search, and most of them can be found.

站长 Wengier, thank you for the boot disk you provided. There are the following problems in use:

First, let me tell you the configuration of my old computer:
KT133A (EPOX) + AMD Athlon850 + 40GB (5400 RPM) + 256MB (PC133 SDRAM) + GF2 MX400.
The C drive is 502MB (FAT16) and has DOS 7.10 installed. (Installation method: Use the compressed version of IO.SYS from April 24th, use SYS C:, then copy all the files on the A drive and all the files in the memory virtual disk to the C:\DOS7 directory. In config.sys, only VIDE-CDD.SYS and HIMEM.SYS are loaded. In AUTOEXEC.BAT, only the Chinese and English long filename driver, DOSKEY, and MSCDEX are loaded.) When loading UMBPCI.SYS, the following prompt appears on the screen:
ROM : C000H －CB7FH
EMS : not found
RAM : not found
Error : No upper memory found, RAM was not Loaded
Based on the above error prompt, I did not load UMBPCI.SYS in the CONFIG.SYS of C:.
The more unexpected problem is behind. After I configured DOS 7.10, I then directly installed Windows 2K pro under DOS. smartdrv must be run. The copying files after running winnt in the i386 directory of the CD actually took 40 minutes, which is equivalent to not loading smartdrv. I first thought that smartdrv was not loaded before running winnt. Later, I simply repartitioned the entire hard drive (using GDISK, version: 2003), and reconfigured DOS 7.10 again (that is, re-editing the config.sys and autoexec.bat files). SYS C: still used the boot disk from April 24th. After loading smartdrv again and installing Windows 2K from the CD, the result was the same. The copying time was long, exceeding 40 minutes. According to normal, this copying process should be completed in less than 5 minutes. At first, I suspected that it was the problem of the installation CD. After completing the installation of Windows 2K, when installing Windows XP, I simply copied all the files in the I386 directory to the hard drive for installation.
The command is as follows:
xcopy H: (CD drive letter)\I386\*.* /S /E D:\WINXP
Unexpectedly, the copying file time was also long. At that time, I really got into a fix.
With a resolute heart, I repartitioned the hard drive again and reinstalled the system again. This time, I used the Windows 98 installation CD to boot to pure DOS and used SYS C:, and the rest remained unchanged. As a result, when installing Windows 2K again, it was much faster. The first copying file only took less than 5 minutes and returned to normal. After installation, when installing Windows XP from the CD again, it was also fast and returned to normal.
In the subsequent installation tests, using the previous boot disk made by Wengier (referring to the boot disk without compressing IO.SYS) to install Windows 2K and Windows XP did not have the above errors, but UMBPCI.SYS could not be used on my computer.
Finally, I still thank Wengier for the boot disk. The DOS system I have now, except that MSDOS.SYS, IO.SYS, and COMMAND.COM are provided by the Windows 98 installation CD, many DOS software uses the software in Wengier's boot disk, such as: ATTRIB, SHUTDOWN, FDISK, XMSDSK, etc.
As for whether the above problem is caused by the compressed IO.SYS, I don't know. I raise it in the hope that Wengier's boot disk can be more compatible and stable.

I can load the memory disk with items 1 and 2, but not with items 3 and 4. Although the drive letter can be seen, both DOSET.CAB and VC.CAB are not extracted, and extracting them by myself doesn't work either.

Also, my hard disk is in NTFS format. After booting with this floppy disk, I can't install WIN2000, saying that there is not enough space on the hard disk. Is it related to the fact that the floppy disk can only read NTFS?

The following is the statement from Shan Meng on 2003-6-7 16:43:06:
There is a more unexpected problem behind. After I configured DOS7.10, I then directly installed Windows2Kpro under DOS. smartdrv is definitely to be run. After completion, running winnt in the i386 directory of the CD took 40 minutes to copy files, which is equivalent to not loading smartdrv?

Did you automatically load PC-CACHE from the boot disk of April 24 before loading SMARTDRV? Because PC-CACHE does not support the optical drive, and when it is loaded at the same time as SMARTDRV, it will not achieve the desired effect. And the previous version of the boot disk may not necessarily have PC-CACHE, so SMARTDRV may be effective. But I will also go to take a closer look.

Hello, I just downloaded the MS-DOS 7.10 bootable disk to the hard disk. How can I extract it to a floppy disk? Because I tried to extract MDOS710.IMG to the floppy disk with WINRAR and it always says the floppy disk is not enough!

After booting, the USB hard drive can be recognized, but why can't GHOST run? I don't know what to do.

Did you automatically load PC-CACHE from the startup disk of April 24th before loading SMARTDRV? Because PC-CACHE does not support CD-ROM drives, and when it is loaded simultaneously with SMARTDRV, it will not achieve the desired effect. And the previous version of the startup disk may not necessarily have PC-CACHE, so SMARTDRV may be effective. But I will also look into it carefully.

站长 Wengier, let me repeat the process of my installation of DOS 7.10:
The hard disk (40G) is partitioned with GDISK, the C: drive is FAT16, and the rest are FAT32. After booting with the startup disk, I just use FORMAT C: /S /U, then copy all the files from the startup disk (including the files in the SYSTEM directory of the virtual memory disk) to C:\DOS7, and then use edit to edit AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS on C:. The contents of these two files are as follows:
CONFIG.SYS
DEVICE=C:\DOS7\HIMEM.SYS /TESTMEM:OFF
DEVICE=EMM386.EXE NOEMS X=D100
DEVICE=C:\DOS7\VIDE-CDD.SYS /D:IDECD
FILES=30
BUFFERS=30
LASTDRIVE=Z
(UMBPCI.SYS is not used because it does not support my motherboard, for details, see the previous post)
AUTOEXEC.BAT
@ECHO OFF
PATH=C:\DOS7;
LH DOSKEY
LH DOSLFN /C- /Z:CP936UNI.TBL
CLS
LH MSCDEX /D:IDECD
My DOS system is configured like this, without using XMSDSK and without using SMARTDRV.
After completion, I boot the computer (boot from the hard disk), put the installation CD of Windows2K into the CD-ROM drive, load SMARTDRV.EXE, then directly switch to the CD-ROM drive letter H:, enter the I386 directory, and type
WINNT /S:H:\I386 /U:C:\TEMP\UNATTEND.TXT /T:E:
The initial file copying time of the installation becomes long, and the subsequent installation of WinXP is also long.

When booting with the installation CD of Windows98 and using SYS C: and then installing Windows2K and WindowsXP, the above problem does not occur.

Because I tried to extract MDOS710.IMG to a floppy disk with WinRAR, it always says the floppy disk is not enough!

MDOS710.IMG cannot be directly extracted to a floppy disk with WinRAR, otherwise it cannot be booted. Please see the installation instruction file INSTALL.TXT inside for the extraction method!


Shan Meng: May I ask whether that MSCDEX is Cloaked MSCDEX 2.23 or MSCDEX 2.25?

Why can't it fit on a single floppy disk, huh?
