Originally posted by Fonaplats It recognized the CF card. It wouldn't format it in BIOS though.
If the BIOS is having trouble formatting the CF card, there are a few potential reasons for this issue. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot:
Make sure that the CompactFlash (CF) card you are using is compatible with the CF-to-IDE adapter and the BIOS of your 486 system. Some older systems may have limitations on the size or type of storage devices they can recognize.
If you are using a CF-to-IDE adapter, check if it has any jumper settings. Some adapters have jumpers that need to be set correctly for the system to recognize and format the CF card properly. Refer to the adapter's documentation for guidance.
Check if there is a BIOS update available for your 486 motherboard. Sometimes, updating the BIOS can add support for newer storage devices and resolve compatibility issues. If the BIOS is having trouble formatting the CF card, you may try using a low-level format utility. Some CF card manufacturers provide such utilities that you can run on a different system to perform a low-level format. Be cautious with low-level formatting, as it erases all data on the card.
If possible, try using a different CF card to see if the issue persists. It's possible that the CF card itself is defective or incompatible with your system.
Partition the CF Card on Another System:
Use a modern computer with a CF card reader to partition and format the CF card. Create a single FAT16 partition and install MS-DOS on it. Then, move the CF card back to your 486 system and see if it can boot from it.
Ensure that the power supply to the CF-to-IDE adapter is stable and providing sufficient power. Inadequate power supply can lead to issues with drive recognition and formatting.
Inspect the CF-to-IDE adapter, IDE cables, and connections for any physical issues. Make sure everything is securely connected.
If available, try testing the CF card and adapter on a different system to determine if the issue is specific to the 486 system. -
2023-12-31 at 5:27 PM UTC in Installing an OS on my CF card (but i don't know what I'm doing)It sounds like you're encountering issues with the boot sequence and drive recognition when installing MS-DOS 6.22 on your 486 system using a CF card and floppy disks. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:
Check CF Card Format: Ensure that the CompactFlash (CF) card is properly formatted and that MS-DOS is correctly installed on it. You can use a modern computer and a CF card reader to verify this.
BIOS Settings: Enter the BIOS settings on your 486 computer and check the boot sequence. Make sure that the CF card is set as the first boot device. The settings may refer to it as a "Hard Disk" or similar.
CF Card Adapter: If you're using a CF-to-IDE adapter to connect the CF card to the 486 motherboard, make sure the adapter is functioning properly. Try using a different adapter or CF card if available.
Boot from Floppy:
Since you're having trouble recognizing the 3.5" floppy drive, make sure the floppy drive is properly connected and configured in the BIOS. Also, confirm that the MS-DOS installation floppy disks are not corrupted.
Boot Disk Configuration: When you create the MS-DOS boot floppy, ensure that the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files on the floppy are configured correctly. They should point to the appropriate drivers and system files on the CF card.
Manually Select Boot Drive: During the boot sequence, try manually selecting the CF card as the boot drive. This might involve entering a command like C: or A:, depending on how the drives are recognized.
Check for Drive Letter Assignments:
Once in MS-DOS, use the FDISK command to check the drive letter assignments and make sure the CF card is recognized correctly. You may need to use the SYS command to transfer the system files to the CF card. Test with a Different CF Card: If possible, try using a different CF card to see if the issue persists. Sometimes, compatibility issues or faults with specific cards may cause problems.
Check for Errors During Boot: Pay attention to any error messages or prompts that appear during the boot process. This can provide clues about what might be going wrong.
Recreate Boot Floppies:
If all else fails, recreate the MS-DOS installation floppy disks from the original source or a reliable source, ensuring that the files are not corrupted. -

those age recognition AI sites, apps and websites are a joke. I used the same picture on the same site three times and got three different ages that weren’t even close to each other. -
