Hey Guys,
I have installed Dos 7.1 to a 120GB drive, I cannot boot with Emm386 active, it will throw an error code saying system halted to prevent damage please reboot, I tried using the dos6.22, and windows 3.11 emm386 respectively and still the same error.
problem 2# I have tried to run w3xstart.exe to patch the io.sys file and it gets so far and throws the error cannot find patch/unpatch, I downloaded a second source and ran it and the same problem
3# tried to run 311fat32 again error about not finding some file it needed.
I assumed that when downloading these files that all of the necessary components would be their when unzipping them,
when i rem the emm386 line in the config sys the system loads save for the sound driver that needs emm386, and i get a nice graphic of dos loading screen, I can see 114GB of the drive so I have the space I was wanting.
I copied my Dos and Windows folders from my actual install drive to this drive and some other files, using my config.sys and autoexec.bat from my running drive, but the emm386 error is holding up progress,
Looking for some help to get this up and running,
Thank you in advance.
