With cat -hex (hd0)0+1 not, but with cat -hex (hd0,0)0+1 too. With cat -hex (fd0)0+1 there is actually a name in the bootsector. It's sad I have reached my 350KB file limit, so I can't give any pictures. I just repeated them on a FAT16 USB-FDD made by RMPREPUSB, and a FAT32 USB-HDD partitioned with FDISK (BHDD-version) and formatted with FORMAT (no system). I have only some experimental findings to offer.
My built-in Floppie-station is now always A: and an attached USB-FDD always B: Hard-drives gave no problems after booting the comment about LABEL and Grub4Dos was not ment to discuss this fabulous program. With the first two mappings Drive-letters are reversed, with last two mappings everything is back to nomal. As a workaround I first used "cat", but rewriting UUID is much easier in my opinion.Ībout my floppie-mappings: without mapping I have simply no acces to A: or B: from the Memdrive, only with mapping. Also labels written by Mini-Tool-Partition Magic and RMPREPUSB I found not compatible with the "vol -write"-command of Grub4Dos. In PTEDIT.EXE can be seen that the "vol -write"-command is not writing to the FAT, while LABEL does. If the label is deleted by LABEL.EXE, the "vol -write"-command is working again. The command didn't work anymore for renaming a Drivespace Host-drive, and too when I formatted an USB-drive with FORMAT. The "vol -write"-command never gave any problems and I used it in earlier versions of Part II. Typo, changed first changing label of Memdrive: it's not needed for a batchfile, just to gave the C-drive a nice name in Explorer My boot-drive is named USBPRIMARY1, and is the D-drive after booting the Windows on the Memdrive.Ībout LABEL: I am used to partition my USB-drives with Partition Magic 5.01.
In case of attached hard-drives, IO.SYS patched with PCHIO is very convenient for collecting drive-letters (part of MDCU, see: ).īTW: BUFFERS shouldn't be set too low, or “Reboot to MS-DOS Mode” from a Memdrive may fail. REN C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\IOSUBSYS\DRV*.VXD DRV*.VX_ REN C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\IOSUBSYS\HSFLOP.PDR HSFLOP.PD_ REM if USBLOGICAL1 label of logical partition SUBST for different drive-letters can be automated with following batch-file, USB11.BAT: More space is possible with Drivespace and/or a logical partition.Ī logical partition can get a fixed drive-letter with SUBST, but the drive-letter will shift if booting from the Memdrive. # vol -write not compatible with labels written by FORMAT or LABEL # 16 characters available (hex 0 – not O)

# UUID must be different from existing MS-DOS Volume Serial Number # USB boot-partition loaded in memory and mapped as first drive # needed for possible use of floppy drive # mapped USB-bootdrive becomes always second disk Title Memdrive with Legacy USB 1.1 access GRUB.EXE (0.4.6.a) can be started from real MS-DOS with following MENU.LST: I used MinFileCache=1024 and MaxFileCache=1024 during experimenting.

Memdrive will be max 400-500MB, mainly depending on drivers and vcache.
In my experience Windows will only boot from a Memdrive with HIMEMX.EXE and without HSFLOP.PDR (or disabling floppy-controller also DRV*.vxd’s can give problems).

The “Part I”-installation can be run from a Grub4Dos Memdrive and with full access to the USB-boot-partition and with changing UUID of the Memdrive (experimental). Part 8½: Full installation of Windows 98se on an empty Grub4Dos Memdrive without rebootingĭISCLAIMER: THIS PROJECT IS POTENTIALLY ADDICTIVE, I DON’T PAY FOR REHAB!Īdded picture (of bad quality because of my size limit) Part VIII: Windows 98se on other USB 2.0 partition with Grub4Dos Memdrive as bootchain Part VII: Installation of Windows 98se on a logical partition with Grub4Dos Part VI: Windows 98se from a logical partition on Grub4Dos Memdrive Part V: Windows 98se on USB 2.0 with Grub4Dos Memdrive as bootchain Part IV: Windows 98se on Grub4Dos Memdrive with full USB 2.0 access Part III: Windows 98se with PCI-devices (except USB) on legacy USB 1.1 Part II: Quasi-universal Windows 98se on Grub4Dos Memdrive with full Legacy USB 1.1 access Part I: Quasi-universal Windows 98se on Legacy-USB 1.1 The results of the project are divided into following parts: Except Grub4dos, everything is experimental and (almost) undocumented. In retrospective everything is easygoing, although later parts and project extensions are more complicated. I am not sure if anything I did is new, but you will let me know. Each part gives needed changes in respect to the one before.Īll installations are possible in directory C:\WINDOWS: no drive-letter assignment needed. The other parts are dependent on Grub4Dos. Two parts are about the Windows 98 Second Edition installation using the legacy USB-connection. Every part of this project is one out of (almost) nine ways to run Windows 98se from an USB-drive.
