W98 DOS on a FAT32 partition - booting causes a reboot.
Hello all,
I just created a 5 GByte bootable FAT32 partition and formatted it using the /s option (to transfer the systemfiles to it). However, when I than restart there just is a delay of about 10 seconds, after which it reboots. The odd thing is that booting from a FAT16 thumbdrive and than accessing the above parition (the C: drive) works allright (already created a DOS folder and copied files into it) I've tried to google the problem, but nothing jumps out. Does anyone know whats going on here and how to fix it ? Regards, Rudy Wieser. |

W98 DOS on a FAT32 partition - booting causes a reboot (solved)
However, when I than restart there just is a delay of about 10 seconds,
after which it reboots. The problem was that repartitioning did not rewrite the MBR boot code - it was still the GRUB loader from the previous Linux OS on that disk. And ofcourse I only remembered "fdisk /mbr" *after* I killed the MBR (filling the sector with zeroes). Luckily I had not done much before testing if it would actually boot. :-) Regards, Rudy Wieser |
