Awsome, nice to meet you, thankx for this guide, can't wait to get it working.
Ok, here's the deal, I am on XP, but have a 16Gb partition free.
I would like to use the latest FreeDOS, so I installed FreeDOS to a 1Gb partition which is known as C: (winblows XP sees it as D:).
I then burnt the BIN file in Nero to CD, and the CD booted perfectly!
I then chose manual, chose to add another Primary partition, and changed that partition into a 118 Amithlong partition, at which point it became C: and C: became D:, so I swapped them back so that my FreeDOS partition would be C: again.
I then exited, and rebooted, I then tried to acess the C: drive to copy the files from the Amithlon CD, which were in the ISOLinux folder and not Syslinux.
Anyhow, C: was suddenly no longer a valid drive.
=========
I then decided to can the 1Gb for FreeDOS and just install the FreeDOS from your CD instead, and follow your manual instructions.
So I do pretty much everything above, but this time, I can not copy the FreeDOS kernal to the C: drive as it can not be found. So now C: is not bootable.

I then dug out another computer, tried the Auto install, it worked great, copied my files to C: from Amithlon's ISOLINUX directory, rebooted, and it got to some FrameBugger Not Found errors and never booted Amithlon.
