Ok. I added FD MOVE to my list of FreeDOS "dontuse"-tools - which already contains quite a few items ( DEFRAG, FDISK, CHKDSK, HIMEM.SYS, ... ). All in all a rather dismal FreeDOS status.

Oooh, it is a "known" issue. Then everything's alright of course.

Thanks, but I don't "use" EDR-DOS. However, I guess Steve will happily follow your valuable hints.

You'll have to format a floppy disk under WinXP. You'll see an option to create an MS-DOS boot disk. If you don't own WinXP or your comp has no FD anymore - bad luck!

MS-DOS forever!
