The FreeDOS Project

Good day:

Trying to do a DIR on an NTFS partition, one of my friends is getting
the following error:

Divide error, stack:
FB3C 158E 0246 0000 14CB 38C8 6AE5 158E 7939 0000 0000 0000 38A4

What's the size limit on a partition for the FreeDOS kernel?  I believe
this was a 160GByte partition, but I'm checking to be sure.  I don't
have anything that big to test with!

The large size seems like the first place to look.

Thanks again for the great support.

Hi Bernd:

They e-mailed me the patched version.  I do not know if they
have re-released it.  And, yes, the only file that is really required
is ntfs4dos.exe.

Is the 'fixed' NTFS4DOS version you received also already downloadable 
(in freeware version) from Datapol?

Hope they make Causeway the default.

Only NTFS4DOS.EXE is needed? Maybe they can do as other ramdrive progs 
do: return the errorlevel for the driveletter assigned: [A=1..Z=26]

Good day, all:

I was trying to do something clever to replace my C program
findtdsk.  All findtdsk is look at disk volume labels and return an
ERRORLEVEL if it finds a match.  findtdsk is crashing an HP
computer and I don't feel like trying to debug it long distance.

In the MS-DOS world, this can be done with a batch script
doing things like:

VOL A: | find /c "MS_RAMDRIVE" | choice /c:01 /n

Te FreeDOS VOL command seems to treat everything after VOL
as the first argument.  This gives a syntax error.

So does

VOL A: > temp.dat

Is there any way around this?  Is this a bug in VOL?

Thanks for the wonderful support.
