Hi, I bought a Futro S300 thin client and it arrived today.
It has no built-in floppy, no CD-Rom, but supports USB-CDROM or USB thumb drive boot.
I wanted to install DOS6.22 and Win98 dual boot. However, I encountered another problem when I wanted to install them.
My internal HDD is a Sandisk 32GB CF card inserted into the onboard CF slot, and in Bios, it was successfully recognized as 29GB IDE device. In bios I set the IDE mode to be UDMA33 (I dunno if this will affect anything or not, it could be set to legacy PIO mode).
I made two bootable USB thumb drives by burning the bootable image from allbootdisks (https://www.allbootdisks.com/download/iso.html) to the 2 thumb drives by UltraISO burning tool. The DOS6.22 doesn't work at all, when boot sequence was selected as USB-IDE first (my thumbdrive's name) it got into a dead loop trying to boot from usb but failed etc...
When I tried to boot my WIn98SE bootable thumbdrive, it booted into the dos prompt and I could do FDISK for the 32GB internal CF card, but for all other command it always prompts (see screenshots in attachments):
Sector not found reading Drive A
Abort, Retry, Fail?
I don't even have a floppy drive (none usb floppy was attached at all)
and this error occurred periodically and I could not even type a full command, it interrupts in the middle of typing a command.
There's another headache, when attached, the USB thumb drive will always be recognized as C:, and the internal CF card on which I want to install OSes is recognized as D: ... therefore I could not set active the D:....
How can I solve this, and how can I install DOS6.22 using thumbdrive?
Thanks
Ivan
