I installed GTA in VirtualBox with FreeDOS and MS-DOS, both didn't work too but with different behaviors. So the three methods produce different problems, not very useful to diagnose the problem. In the future if I install the MS-DOS on the PC, I update the topic with the result.

No, for now I do not really want to test it with DOS 6.22. I had to use floppy disks to install FreeDOS and transfer all the files, and I am not ready to go through that again. However, I can install FreeDOS and MS-DOS in a virtual machine to test it.

Thank you, I removed the link.

Thank you for the replies. I tried a 2GB formatted with FAT16 on the same disk CF 16 GB but it didn't work. I have a friend who might be able to lend me a CF 1GB. Otherwise, I think I'll just use the hard drive, as I don't want to spend money on CFs at the moment until I get one that works. In this …

Hello DamienC, Your memory is great, it worked like a charm, thank you very much.
