not even partition tables are safe from my near-supernatural ability to break shit through existing.

wat? mbr in 2019?

What is this shit?

@magicMirror you missed that it's an MS-DOS FAT16 partition.

Check surfaces and cylinders settings in Bios !

@Parzi TF?
whyyyyy???

@NoToJavaScript VHD.
@magicMirror You don't still do DOS things? Not even in a VM?

also i ran out of space on the VHD i had prior and needed to copy the shit on it to a bigger one, but dd kept shitting the bed, leading to both that and the FAT16 partition suddenly becoming HPFS, which MS-DOS 6.22 apparently recognizes?

@Parzi This.... only raises more questions!
Why DOS? Why a vm? why do I even care? What is stuck to my shoe?

@magicMirror good question, why ARE you reading this when so allergic to DOS?

I'm both making a prod for a demoparty in April and trying to get a Discord client written for everything from MS-DOS to Win10 using DJGPP and PythonD. I'm using a VM as I don't have any period-appropriate hardware kicking about, nor a network card that'd be compatible with packet drivers from said era.

(There's a Slack client for Win3.1, why not Discord for everything? Might need a bot key, but fuck it, why not?)

Coming again with my Reddit shit, but… your post would have a lot of success on r/softwaregore

@CodeTalker they banned me for posting too often.
