I can only answer part of the problem, however here is
what I see.

You should use either F2 or F10 (depending upon
computer type) to enter the BIOS setup and see if you
can't do a Hard Drive Probe. This should, hopefully,
clear up that problem.

Also, the disk that you boot Basic Linux from isn't,
technically speaking, a DOS disk. It is actually a raw
image disk. The second disk, as my experience has
been, can be either a DOS disk or a ext2 disk. I have
been able to use either with some success and without
mtools no less (maybe my computer is just weird that
way). Any rate, hope the BIOS suggestion helps.
