[Freedos-user] Installing on USB key: Warning: using suspect partition

[Michelle D. <md...@oc...>]

Hi all - I'm new to freedos, but pretty good at DOS & linux.  Hopefully someone can help...

I have a USB key with lots of OS versions on it for repair.  I decided to tree FREEDOS on a parition, and although I got it booting, on bootup I get a screenfull of Warning: using suspect partition errors.

I'm not great at C/H/S math so I decided to just boot with a ramdisk, copy everything to the ramdisk, reformat with /S and copy everything back.  This first format gave lots of warnings, the second time it ran fine.  (So again C/H/S not matching up).

So I rebooted onto my newly formatted partition, but get the exact same errors!  So...
How do I fix this?

Thanks!
