Hi Thomas, ... The limit of four primary (including extended) partitions is per disk. It is not a limitation of XOSL, it is in the standard ms-dos disklabel,...
Hello members, I have a problem with my XOSL installation. At present it is only letting me see three logical partions. I have no problem seeing my three...
... XOSL may not recognize every file system, which file system is used on the Linux partition you do not see ? We have received some reports of XOSL not being...
Hello Melinda, XOSL is not O/S dependant. I would strongly recommend that you install XOSL 1st in a small partition at the beginning of the drive, then hide...
I install the XOSL but when I reboot my computer it says Extended Operating System Loader 1.1.5 ant that's all :( Like, in the black screen. It doesn't load...
... Well that is strange, it seems XOSL is not capable of setting a correct graphic mode of the video chip. It is usually quite good at doing that (much better...
... So it doesn't come from the video card. But where is installed your XOSL? It happen to me when I moved the partition with the XOSL installation. ......
I like XOSL and I want to use it with Vista. Web searches show that others have sucessfully done this, but there is an "issue" with the Disk Signature. Here is...
Well I have to say, I didn't look at the links but I don't know what you are talking about with the signature and Vista... I have been using XOSL for years on...
Well, I took the plunge and tried it out and everything worked. According to my previous link, Vista does require the Disk Signature to remain unchanged, and I...
This is off topic but only brief. Two of the early motherboards to have sata which I tried weren't very handy. With modern mobos, is there any problem using...
Hello Sol, Thank you for posting this. I am sure that others will appreciate it. I did write a simple guide for myself some time back for various Windows XP...

Hi Installation failed on SATA Raid 5 on a new mobo (msi790fx-gd70/amd@SB750). Installation gets stuck at "reading disk structure". When setting SATA mode in...

I've got a machine which xosl wouldn't run on - it hung at the signon message. It's not recent - an MSI K8MM3-V Socket 754 or MS-7181-050 I ended buying...
did anyone install xosl in virtualbox to configure multiboot (windows xp & vista/7). The boot window is not stable and skips automatically to boot into OS....
Hi I've installed a SATA hard disk into an old motherboard. The motherboard doesn't support SATA so doesn't offer the disk to boot. I also have a small slow...
Hello Dan, ... Firstly double check the BIOS settings. There may well be an option for "other devices" but this is not always the case. I would recommend that...
I assume you installed a PCI card to attach the SATA drive to. I did the same thing. Check if your BIOS offers a boot to SCSI, my 2001 Award BIOS has that...
I might add a couple of notes and observations to this discussion from my own experience with XOSL on an older system with a newer hard drive. I believe the...
... That's correct. The more recent BIOS limit is commonly known as the 137 GB limit (by the more generous way manufacturers calculate GB) which requires a...
