Hello,

this is the config, how I create the ram drive, but to this motherboard I get an error
"memory allocation error"

what I can do?

config.sys

xmsdsk.exe Z: 15000 /t /y >NUL
set RAM=Z
GOTO %CONFIG%

thanks

Try it without the /t switch:

xmsdsk.exe Z: 15000 /y >NUL

hello,

Maybe you can say me, how change the "windows startup menu" from the bootdisk.
I tried to edit the io.sys with a hex editor, but I dont find any menu string.

I is possible to change the "windows startup menu"?

The menu is hardcoded (and possibly compressed/crypted) inside the executable, not something that you will be able to edit/change without a lot of assembly knowledge and possibly writing your own decompressing tools.

I had the same problem when I tried to load it into an IBM x300 laptop.

trying getting rid of the /t
worked for me.
