Try https://www.bttr-software.de/freesoft/boot.htm. That site should have some alternate boot programs.

Hey, thanks for the suggestion. I'll look into it. Also, I may need an alternative keyboard driver for DOS, not to mention Windows. During the installer for Full Throttle, the '/' key doesn't work. And in Windows, it doesn't recognise the '@' symbol.

if you've used phils dos starter pack, it will have changed your keyboard from UK to US layout, so some keys will be moved around, i havent got round to working out how to change it back, im using dos6.22 and theres nothing in the autoexec/config that looks related.

Oh. But I’ve since swapped the files back with my own autoexec and config files. 😀 I’m actually surprised a keyboard driver doesn’t need to be added to those files much like the mouse driver. Unless that’s within the msdos.sys file…?
