China DOS Union

Thanks to the LZ! Also post a thread to see if I can get some points! Hehe

I originally bought a help dictionary for DOS 4.0. Sweat, I couldn't understand many contents at that time. Haha, I don't read it much now, but it's still very useful.

Still send it to my email box.

Newcomer to the forum, please take care of me! Good stuff, need to download!

Big brother, hurry up and upload it.

Last September, I went to the US to take care of my grandson for half a year. I took along the IBM S30 notebook, which has no backlight and a floppy drive, with the OS being WIN2K, and there was a GHOST backup on drive D.

After a month, I accidentally deleted files, the notebook got damaged and couldn't boot into the system. I quickly used my child's notebook to go online, so I thought about making a bootable USB drive, downloading software. Two days later, I was hit by a virus, so I had to send the notebook back to the manufacturer (it was still under warranty). There was no computer available at home anymore, which affected my child's study and work, and I felt quite ashamed. I made up my mind not to use my child's computer anymore and to fix the S30.

I found a nearby computer repair shop in the phone book. This shop was set up at home and there was only one person; the shop owner received me warmly, but unfortunately, because I didn't have a USB CD-ROM drive and the original WIN2K disc, he couldn't help. When I went to another shop and told them, they said it had to be treated as a repair, with a base repair fee of $99 plus $25 per hour, which scared me. The third shop also had a base fee of $99 plus $25 per hour. It seemed that this price was the market rate. So I gave up the idea of sending it for repair.

Then I thought about finding a desktop computer and removing the notebook's hard drive to restore the system on the desktop computer. I quickly brought back an HP monitor from e-waste machines, MADE IN CHINA. Then I saw several hosts, but their insides were all in a mess. Because my family all opposed it, and also considering that it was difficult to find a 2.5"-3.5" hard drive adapter, I gave up this idea.

Still not giving up, I urgently called a friend in China for help, asking him to send a GHOST bootable USB drive. This friend is an amateur computer expert and told me that there was a Longking triple-boot available, but it wasn't guaranteed to boot the S30. I told him that a Longking dual-boot USB drive was better; the S30 only supports USB drive booting from FDD (I found out about USB booting after this notebook got damaged). Unfortunately, the Longking dual-boot USB drives that support FDD have long been discontinued.

Time flew by, and the return date was approaching, and I finally calmed down. The biggest gain from the notebook damage incident was: realizing the preciousness of DOS knowledge. I am very interested in any knowledge that can guide the computer to restore the system.

After returning, I got a 32M antique Longking dual-boot USB drive. The USB drive is very small, but I feel it is very heavy.

The Longking dual-boot USB drive can boot the S30 into DOS. Can the Longking dual-boot USB drive boot a normal USB CD-ROM drive and external hard drive? Can it boot a CF card? Can it boot a PC card device? Wait? All roads lead to Rome, I want to explore it.

To explore these questions, I found that my DOS knowledge is too poor. The exploration path is in DOS.

Moderators and netizens of the China DOS Union, I want to walk with you.

Haven't I already uploaded it?

Let me take a look
