What's the matter with GRUB for DOS not responding? - China DOS Union Forum

There is no system on my computer's hard disk, it's empty and in FAT32 format.

I can only boot DOS from a USB mobile hard disk. My DOS is MS-DOS 7.1, and it's a complete installation.

Then when I enter and boot GRUB, it says it can't run in VM86 mode, and it needs to run in pure DOS.

Then I started a few fewer items, and it's said that this should not be in VM86 mode.

Then after entering, I type GRUB to run, and it stops at:

C:\GRUB
_

It's confirmed that there is no死机, and there is no VM86 error report, but GRUB just has no response.

Then, I changed a method: I formatted the local hard disk with FORMAT /S

Then copied GRUB over.

But after booting, it comes out:

GRUB_

The cursor is also flashing, and there is no死机, but there is no other response.

I'm anxious. I don't have any CDs, etc., just a mobile hard disk.

Please, how can I boot GRUB?

Thank you. Please help me! Thank you again.

Try not to load any drivers. You can press SHIFT+F5 to enter pure DOS mode when the boot menu appears, and then try again to see if it can start. [ Last edited by chenall on 2006-10-30 at 01:48 AM ]
