On boot-up I get a &#8220;HIMEM testing extended memory&#8230;&#8221; message. In the old days when memory was measured in Mbs, it didn&#8217;t take long. At least, not that I recall. But if I run it in my modern PC with 4Gb of memory it takes up to a minute. Is there a way of stopping it doing that test?<\/p>\n<p>2. I installed DOS from floppies, which set the partition size as 500Mb. But it&#8217;s an 8Gb stick. Can I still use the rest for storage, via Windows or Linux?<\/p>\n<p>Thanks in advance<\/p>\n<p>Terps<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"iawp_total_views":49},"question-category":[60],"question_tags":[],"class_list":["post-1819","question","type-question","status-publish","hentry","question-category-dos"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question\/1819","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/question"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1819"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1819"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"question-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question-category?post=1819"},{"taxonomy":"question_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question_tags?post=1819"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
