![]() ![]() Definitely Windows XP specific behaviour as DOS works perfect every time.Īny known issues with 360k drives with Windows XP? If not, anyone know a registry key for adding extra delay for drives that are slow to start (my only working theory currently is that this drive may be a little slower to respond than expected). However, most times it won't work after booting. On the rare occasion it works the first time after boot, it will stay working. Drive A though fails with General I/O error on access around 90% of the time. What's odd though, is if I boot the machine off the hard drive into Windows XP I have problems with the 5.25" drive. Since I also have a 3.5" drive B, I can move data to a slightly more common format, so basically a success. Select the Create a bootable disk using option and then choose FreeDOS from the dropdown menu next to that option. The DOS option requires FAT32 and isn’t available for the other file system options like NTFS, UDF, and exFAT. I'm able to boot off the drive (setup as A) and run DOS 3.2 successfully (as well as some self-booting old games). From the File System dropdown menu, choose the FAT32 format. ![]() Plan is to migrate whatever I can forward onto more modern media. I salvaged the half height 5.25" double density floppy drive though and dropped it into an old 1.8 ghz AMD tower I had laying around. My PC XT clone went up in smoke (literally) the other day.
