Then how to install it under Windows 2000? Please help me.

I downloaded Installation Disk 1, and after downloading it to drive A, I can't install it directly. What should I do?

to wengier: Because I want to include it as one item in my bootable CD, and there are other options. Diskemu has good compatibility, but the interface is ugly and doesn't support menu bars. After I used Diskemu 2.0, I found that the compatibility is not very good either. I want to try ezboot to see how its compatibility is?

I haven't studied ezboot carefully, so I'm not very familiar with it. But now I'll talk about how the installation program of MS-DOS 7.10 searches for ZIP files: Before it reaches the step of entering the installation path, it will automatically search for ZIP files in A:\ and the DOS71 folder of the CD-ROM (for example, F:\DOS71). If it doesn't find any, it will prompt the user to manually enter the path; it's similar for the subsequent plug-ins. It will also automatically search for A:\ and the DOS71\ADDON\AUTORUN folder of the CD-ROM. If there are files like AUTORUN.INF, it will automatically install; otherwise, it will prompt the user whether to install. Of course, this is a simplification, and the actual operation is more complicated than this, but this is the operating principle.

I still suggest that the plug-in can be installed separately.

Regarding the issue of DOSSHELL, it seems that the installation disk 2 is indeed missing a file named DOSSWAP.EXE. Thanks for letting me know.

Regarding the issue of plug-in installation, since the plug-in is only effective for this DOS installation, if you want to install it separately, I'm afraid some virtualization technology needs to be added to the separate installation program, otherwise it will definitely fail.

Why can't NTFS format be installed? My hard drive is all NTFS, then the CD-ROM boot can't install? It is suggested that the CD version should add the ability to install DOS 7.1 in NTFS

It's impossible because DOS itself doesn't support NTFS. Please first convert the C drive of the hard drive to a FAT32 partition and then install. Supplement: VFLOPPY is a virtual floppy disk, not a real installation of DOS on the hard drive.

Don't understand what you are actually saying?

I'm using Windows XP. After installing the second disk of DOS 7, it always asks me to specify the path of the command file. I entered the path of command.com in Windows, but it still says it's an invalid path. What's the problem?

Which boot disk did you use? The first installation disk of MS-DOS 7.1 or another boot disk?

I downloaded DOS7 but can't extract it. When extracting, it prompts me to redownload. Is it that I didn't download something?
Also, I want to ask. Now I want to do experiments in the wild. The mainboard in the instrument we are using only supports pure DOS. Can I use the programs in your USB driver collection to combine them?

You're quite busy!!!!! Hehe!

Thanks for Wengier's reply. I'm using a Windows XP boot disk, and the first disk of MSDOS can't boot. Hope for guidance!
