Also, I looked at dlmanip and it seems not to support being run inside a Windows DOS box (which is the only way you can run it in a standard Windows Me install), so that’s not really an option (without, of course, hacking Millennium in the usual manner).

Unless that is set to ‘Yes’, the BIOS firmware will report the presence of a phantom floppy drive (of unknown geometry) to DOS, and therefore to Windows Me. | |

Okay, I tested this situation in PCem, and it seems Windows Me actually handles no-floppy systems fine, at least with a roughly-contemporaneous Award v4.60PGA BIOS… so further diagnosis is needed. What would help: launch DEBUG, then type the following commands, each on its own line: a, int 13, int 13, int 11, blank line, rax, 800, rdx, 0, p, rax, 1500, rdx, 0, p, p, q. Paste the resulting register printouts (whatever shows after each ‘p’). You can also try o70 10, i71, q and paste what that prints.

| Dec 1, 2022 at 16:31 | comment | added | user3840170 | @RowanHawkins I said nothing about how new the hardware is; in fact, I don’t think it matters at all. I said nothing about my infallibility either. If you want to criticise me, at least criticise me for things I actually said and did. | |

| Nov 25, 2022 at 19:18 | comment | added | Rowan Hawkins | I'd like you to to confirm what hardware you are putting this on because @user3840170 seems to think its newer and anyone who disagrees with them is wrong. | |

| Nov 25, 2022 at 17:04 | comment | added | user3840170 | Given that this is a photograph of the screen and not the ‘framebuffer dump’ kind of screenshot I assume you have not found a way of transferring files out of the system? | |
