使用 LLM 解释/回答一下
去年九月赴美照看小外孙半年,带上了IBM S30小本本,无光软,OS是WIN2K,D盘有GHOST备份。
一个月后,误删文件,本本挂彩,不能进系统。赶忙用孩子的本本上网,于是想作个启动U盘,下软件,两天后遭病毒暗算,只好将本本送回娘家(还在保修期内)。家中已无电脑可用,影响了孩子的学习工作,很是惭愧。我决心不再用孩子的电脑,并将S30修好。
查电话簿找到附近一家电脑修理店,此店设在家中,只有一人;店主热情接待,无奈因我没有USB光驱和原版WIN2K光盘,爱莫能助。到另一店告之,只有按送修对待,修理费底价99美元,外加每小时25美元,吓我一跳。第三家仍是底价99美元,外加每小时25美元,看来此价属市场行情。我遂断了送修的念头。
于是想找台式机,拆本本硬盘在台式机上恢复系统。很快从洋垃圾机中搬回一个HP显示器, MADE IN CHINA。后又见到主机若干,但内部都七零八落。因家人一致反对,又考虑到难寻2.5"-3.5"的硬盘转接头,又放弃了此念头。
仍不死心,急电国内朋友求救,要求寄一个GHOST启动U盘。此友是业余级电脑高手,告之郎科三启动有售,但不确保启动S30。我告之要郎科双启U盘才好,S30只支持FDD的U盘引导(从网上得之,此次本本挂彩后才知道有U盘启动一说)。无奈支持FDD的郎科双启U盘早已停产。
时光飞逝,归期在即,我终归于平静。本本挂彩事件的最大收获是:体会到DOS知识的珍贵。凡是引导电脑恢复系统的知识我都很有兴趣。
归来后,搞到了32M的古董级郎科双启U盘。U盘很小,我却觉得它分量很重。
用郎科双启U盘可引导S30进DOS。用郎科双启U盘可否引导使用普通USB光驱及移动硬盘?可否引导使用CF卡?可否引导使用PC卡设备?等等?条条道路通罗马,我要探索究竟。
想探索这些疑问,发现自己的DOS知识太贫乏。探索之路在DOS。
中国DOS联盟的版主和网友们,我要与你们同行。
Last September, I went to the US to take care of my grandson for half a year. I took along the IBM S30 notebook, which has no backlight and a floppy drive, with the OS being WIN2K, and there was a GHOST backup on drive D.
After a month, I accidentally deleted files, the notebook got damaged and couldn't boot into the system. I quickly used my child's notebook to go online, so I thought about making a bootable USB drive, downloading software. Two days later, I was hit by a virus, so I had to send the notebook back to the manufacturer (it was still under warranty). There was no computer available at home anymore, which affected my child's study and work, and I felt quite ashamed. I made up my mind not to use my child's computer anymore and to fix the S30.
I found a nearby computer repair shop in the phone book. This shop was set up at home and there was only one person; the shop owner received me warmly, but unfortunately, because I didn't have a USB CD-ROM drive and the original WIN2K disc, he couldn't help. When I went to another shop and told them, they said it had to be treated as a repair, with a base repair fee of $99 plus $25 per hour, which scared me. The third shop also had a base fee of $99 plus $25 per hour. It seemed that this price was the market rate. So I gave up the idea of sending it for repair.
Then I thought about finding a desktop computer and removing the notebook's hard drive to restore the system on the desktop computer. I quickly brought back an HP monitor from e-waste machines, MADE IN CHINA. Then I saw several hosts, but their insides were all in a mess. Because my family all opposed it, and also considering that it was difficult to find a 2.5"-3.5" hard drive adapter, I gave up this idea.
Still not giving up, I urgently called a friend in China for help, asking him to send a GHOST bootable USB drive. This friend is an amateur computer expert and told me that there was a Longking triple-boot available, but it wasn't guaranteed to boot the S30. I told him that a Longking dual-boot USB drive was better; the S30 only supports USB drive booting from FDD (I found out about USB booting after this notebook got damaged). Unfortunately, the Longking dual-boot USB drives that support FDD have long been discontinued.
Time flew by, and the return date was approaching, and I finally calmed down. The biggest gain from the notebook damage incident was: realizing the preciousness of DOS knowledge. I am very interested in any knowledge that can guide the computer to restore the system.
After returning, I got a 32M antique Longking dual-boot USB drive. The USB drive is very small, but I feel it is very heavy.
The Longking dual-boot USB drive can boot the S30 into DOS. Can the Longking dual-boot USB drive boot a normal USB CD-ROM drive and external hard drive? Can it boot a CF card? Can it boot a PC card device? Wait? All roads lead to Rome, I want to explore it.
To explore these questions, I found that my DOS knowledge is too poor. The exploration path is in DOS.
Moderators and netizens of the China DOS Union, I want to walk with you.
