The following is the statement from Wengier on 2003-10-18 21:06:21:

It means that DOS must be installed on a FAT partition, and the C drive cannot be NTFS. Please first convert the C drive to NTFS format, or use VFLOPPY.

How to use the vfloppy virtual floppy drive? Please give me some advice, thank you.

Boss, I've been looking at it for a long time and found that you're installing this thing into my hard drive. I don't know what the significance of this is. Can it be installed on a CD so that when the hard drive has problems, I can boot this DOS from the CD to operate? If the hard drive is fine, I'll just install the system directly. Why do I need DOS?

Upstairs, I find you should figure out the difference between a DOS installation disk and a DOS boot disk. This DOS installation disk is originally used to install DOS on the hard disk. If you just want to boot DOS from a floppy disk or CD and operate it, then you have downloaded the wrong thing. You should find what you need (that is, the DOS boot disk!) in the "DOS Boot Disk/LOGO Technology" section of the forum, not download the DOS installation disk in this post!!

The simplest situation: The system is damaged, files are lost. It's very likely that the DOS you installed on the hard disk will also be damaged. Even if it's not installed in the system area, C:\BOOST.INI is also at risk. I don't know what the starting point of making this program is?

I don't understand that what you have here seems a bit complicated. Simply put, I just want a DOS installed on a CD. If the system has problems, I can use this CD to boot into DOS to back up files. I wonder if your program can do this?^^

The person upstairs, did you see my reply above? Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand the problem clearly!

Your post hasn't come out yet when you made the post.

Then you should have made the problem clear before posting! The difference between a DOS boot disk and a DOS installation disk is obvious. Just because you don't need it doesn't mean others don't either. In fact, everyone has their own different needs.

I downloaded the full installation version of MS-DOS 7.10, and the instructions inside are all about how to make installation disks. The problem is that in the end, it can only be installed into the hard drive, which is meaningless.

I repeat again, if what you need is to boot DOS from a CD, please go to the "DOS Boot Disk" section to download the DOS boot CD, not to download here the DOS installation disk that is not what you need! Since you made a mistake, go to the correct place to download what you really need. It's good to correct the mistake when you know it.

Where to download? I didn't see a post about CD-ROM booting.

You have to find it yourself. There are plenty of DOS boot CDs in that forum. Could it be that you've finished finding them so quickly? Can't you turn pages to find or use the forum's search function?

I want to know how to learn DOS very well

Hello, moderator. My C drive is in FAT32 format and has XP installed. My computer has no floppy drive and no burner. I have VFLOOP installed and another DOS image has been loaded. Now should I install MS_DOS7.10 installation version like this? Download the IMG file, extract it to drive D with winimg, enter the virtual boot disk with VFOOP, then enter drive D and execute the setup file, and choose the installation directory as the root directory of C drive. Is this installation correct? Will it format the data on the C drive? Also, what are the advantages of the installation version compared to the boot version? Thanks!
