no, it says boot: a

I don't know. Here is my bochsrc:

here is mine
note: mine came with do0rs, but looks similar to yours (except the top comments, check it out)

Code: Select all

# Bochs config for DoOrS-0.2.5-SR

[ertrules22]

ohhh... perhaps it is missing the stuff at the bottom?

[t0xic]

Try changing boot: a in your config file to boot: floppy, see if that helps

--Michael

[ertrules22]

nope, it just came up with the same exact error

[t0xic]

If you happen to have a hex editor (if you don't just google HxD), open up the image and make that the last two bytes of the first sector are 0x55 and 0xAA.

--Michael

[ertrules22]

sorry, kinda new to this, I have HxD open, with the do0rs .img file open in it, but where do I look from there (sorry if I sound dumb, but remember that I have never done this before!) I can do a lot of stuff with computers, but osdev is new, so I'm just trying to get a hang of things!
Thanks,
ertrules22

[t0xic]

I forgive you, we were all at that stage once
If you go to Extras->Open Disk Image, you will see the sectors cut out, and look at the last two characters in hex.
Or find offset 1F0, and go to bytes E and F, and tell me what they are. If the OS uses grub, you don't need to do this step, as it just makes sure the bootloader will actually run.

[ertrules22]

okay on offset 1F0 0E is 55 0F is AA

[t0xic]

Sorry for the late response:

I really don't know what the problem is... where can I download the floppy image, I'll see if I can troubleshoot it then.

--Michael

[ertrules22]

The link for do0rs OS is here:

Sorry for the late response:

It's okay, thanks for all the help, and I've even learned some stuff!

[t0xic]

DoOrS Won't run for me either It's probably their fault

--Michael

[ertrules22]

Well, that makes me feel better too! Oh well, I will try something else later, thanks all of your help!

why do we always get off subject in threads like this?
