![]() ![]() ![]() If the boot sector is all zeros, but there is a partition table there.When they reached 8.4GB the C/H/S method ceased to be useful because the capacity of the drive exceeded what the traditional INT 13h interface could reach. By the time IDE drives were that large most were already just LBA devices using 16 heads 63 sectors anyway to support C/H/S for backwards compatibility. If the raw disk image is 4GB or larger. ![]() Since FAT32 has become a critically important file system for DOS and Windows 9x/ME in the last two decades, and (as stated in ) two of the main focuses of DOSBox-X are to give the user all the options they need to emulate everything from original IBM PC hardware with 64KB of RAM all the way up to late 90's hardware, and also as a great platform for emulating Windows 3.x, 95, 98 and software written for those versions of Windows, this feature will be extremely helpful for both of these two I put some thought into it, and I figured DOSBox-X should make up geometry based on whether any one of three simple criteria are met if it can't autodetect. Also, without direct support for FAT32 drives the MS-DOS 7.1+ functions for FAT32 file system cannot be properly implemented either. As a result, DOSBox-X cannot create or access any disk images that are greater than 2GB (or any FAT32 disk images that are between 512MB and 2GB), which (significantly) limits the usefulness of its FAT support. it does allow FAT32 disk image to boot with a real DOS, but there is no direct support for it from the DOSBox-X shell at all. As mentioned in the discussion of pull request #1544, right now DOSBox-X's support for the FAT32 file system in disk images is very limited, i.e. ![]()
