Hi
Dont suppose anyone can help. I use USB pen all day and im in the process of making a usb that holds everything i need on 1 drive for my job.
Im a laptop engineer and most days need to Write DMI to HP/Compaq laptops and only way to do this is from DOS. So i have a USB that was formatted with HP Tool and then created it as a startup disk with the win98 files.
Now that works great problem im having is, i cant seem to get to boot do a Dos prompt from GRUB.
Ive tried alsorts, Ive even took a ISO of my USB and tried booting that but got a error, unsure what it was atm.
So, i took all the boot files put them in a folder /win98/
Tried this:
title find and load IO.SYS of Windows 9x/Me/DOS
root (fd0,0)
find --set-root /win98/io.sys
chainloader /win98/io.sys
An then get this error:
Booting find and load IO.SYS
Filesystem type is fat, partition type 0x0C
(fd0)
Will boot MS-Dos 7.x from drive=0x0, partition=0xff(hidden sectors=0x0)
Starting windows 98...
Type the name of the command Interpreter (e.g., C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND.COM)
A>
Can anyone give me any ideas regarding doing this. I just need a command prompt/dos prompt that i can run batch files from.
Also when i tried booting the ISO i made i used:
title Dos
map (fd0,0)/images/dos.iso (hd32)
map --hook
chainloader (hd32)
title Dos
map /images/dos.iso (0xff)
map --hook
chainloader (0xff)
Both of which failed.
Any ideas people?
Thanks
