OH MY GOD: Do not install IOMegaWare Zipdrive drivers on Windows 7 x64 Editions

****. I was planning on simply re-installing MS-DOS 6.22 from VMWARE 8. But apperently VMWARE 8 has a ****ing limitation too: Error when trying to add big usb drive: "vmware 8 the physical disk is too big. The maximum allowed is 2 TB" Google search produces: https://communities.vmware.com/thread/419611 KABOEM BABY. Running into all kinds of limitations ! NOW YOU KNOW WHY YOU SHOULD ALWAYS GO BIG with ADDRESSING. YIKES. But I am not giving up yet. I can try and copy the ms-dos 6.22 files from an existing VHD... and maybe use some command to make this fat16 bootable and workable... I think there was some kind of command for it sys c: or something not sure ! Wow... carefull don't **** the wrong drive lol and I think this must be done from ms-dos os... so fortunately I can try and run the ms-dos 6.22 vhd and try from there maybe. Bye for now, Skybuck. MSDOS itself, likely has a limit for the drive size. Showing it 2TB worth of drive, isn't exactly going to end well. https://i.postimg.cc/44BSNkqX/dostest.gif Paul |

HAHA Yesterday I already had a theory why USB drives are better than normal drives and this is going to CRACK-YOU-UP. CAUSE USB VIRTUALIZES THEM ! OH YEAH. So I went about this the wrong way, a trick I learned from somebody on youtube. To work around this harddisk limitation problem in VMWARE it makes more sense to add this device as a USB device perhaps via a USB controller in VMWARE. This way the USB protocol can be used to communicate with much larger disks... Cause somehow windows 7 is using some kind of virtualize harddisk protocol on top of USB, GET IT ?! =D YES. If my theory is correct than adding USB devices to VMWARE 8 will allow me to circumvent this limitation ! HAHAHAHAHA. Bye, Skybuck =D |

(I thought I posted a double message not sure, deleted it I think but whatever)
I WANNA I HAVE DONE IT FOLKS. MS-DOS 6.22 on a USB MASS STORAGE DEVICE HERE IS A TUTORIAL FOR YOU, maybe I LATER upload VIDEO with PROOF ! =D Tutorial how to install ms-dos 6.22 onto a usb mass storage device using vmware and other tools: Written quickly/sloppy by Skybuck Flying on 2 january 2020, this should give you a general but workable idea/method how to do it, it worked for me ! =D Ok here is how I got ms-dos 6.22 working on usb, it was quite genius and crazy but it worked lol. With full 2 GB partition on 4 TB usb drive ! HOLY**** ! =D So here is how it goes, the method: 1. First create a virtual machine in vmware 8 as usual for ms-dos 6.22/operating system 2. Create a virtual disk of 2 GB. 3. Use virtual floppy disks to install all 3 disks of ms-dos 6.22 to this virtual drive, make sure the floppy disk is connected when starting the virtual machine. 4. If necessary go into boot menu of virtual machine/bios press F2 or escape and boot from floppy if necessary but if floppy disk is already connected in vmware machine settings then it should automatically boot from floppy disk. 5. Install ms-dos from floppy disks as usual, this will go quite fast, when it askes to change floppy disk, go to virtual machine settings and change floppy disk image to disk 2 and finally disk 3 and so forth. 6. Once ms-dos 6.22 is installed in vmware8, shut down the machine, also make sure this drive is not mapped or anything. 7. Use the following tool to convert vmdk to vhd: 2Tware Convert VHD 1.0.2 8. Save the new vhd file somewhere using this 2tware conver tool. 9. Now attach the usb drive and make it go online if necessary in disk management in computer management. 10. Use the following tool to copy VHD to physical disk, make sure physical disk is empty or can be overwritten without losing critical data, all critical data on usb drive will become inaccessible possibly so make sure you can afford that. HDDRawCopy1.10Portable.exe 11. I also created a partition on the usb drive but I don't think this is necessary, I did it with diskpart and fat16 and such but this can be skipped, HDD Raw Copy tool doesn't care what is on usb drive, it will just overwrite it. 12. Use VHD Attach tool or the VHD attach options in disk management, for safety reasons I advise you to disable/detach all VHD's use special VHD Attach tool for this, to avoid risk of accidently clicking delete VHD in stupid disk tool of microsoft windows, that's how I did it, minimize risk, though it kinda increases risk, but at least avoids confusion. First I did a test from vhd to vhd that worked perfectly. Then I did the real thing from VHD to Physical disk which was the usb drive ! =D 13. And voila, after HDDRawCopy is done MS-DOS 6.22 partition/MBR and such will be available on USB DRIVE, this is fantastic ! =D 14. Now ms-dos 6.22 can be booted from boot menu and have maximum capacity of 2 GB available assuming your BIOS supports 2 GB. If not then use 500 MB for drive/vhd capacity ! GOOD LUCK And may the SKYBUCK-FORCE BE WITH YOU ! ALWAYSZZZ ! =D P.S.: THIS IS SO COOOOOL ! =D I always wanted to have some way to boot this computer into ms-dos 6.22 ! =D hihihihih. And now thanks to usb drives this has become a reality ! =D You could also try USB Sticks ! =D |
