But it's not that important to the person on the top floor

Others are beginners. We should be more cautious with beginners and not mislead them. Before I came into contact with LINUX, I thought the computer's file system was just those things of DOS. When I really saw operating systems like LINUX, it puzzled me, so much so that I had to doubt my previous knowledge and had to re - understand the computer.

Oh, can you tell me about it?

nre is right. There are many versions of DOS, but I think MS-DOS 7.1 is the most user-friendly currently, with high compatibility

The following is a quote from Red Fantasy on 2003-5-4 12:37:10:
A newbie will definitely become an expert one day, and I believe that. Also, what is the relationship between DOS and MS-DOS? Just like 98 is Win 98, and Win 98 is Windows 98.

They are not the same thing. MS-DOS is the DOS released by Microsoft. While DOS is a general term for this type of operating system. Besides MS-DOS, there is also PC-DOS released by IBM, etc....

It's really quite different, Fantasy. You mustn't mislead people...

Thank you all for your help!
It's just that you seem to have different opinions
I understand a bit, but I'm also a bit confused
However, no matter who is accurate, I want to thank everyone for their enthusiastic help and encouragement

I thank you here!

wintryfiy, let me help you!

Listen up!
1. The problem you mentioned about being unable to shut down has nothing to do with the BIOS! Just go to msconfig and uncheck all startup items. If you can't shut down, press ctrl+alt+del to call up the Task Manager and end all your processes. Then you can shut down.
2. sys is not feasible. Windows XP doesn't use command and Io.sys. Also, it might be an NTFS partition! It simply won't be recognized!
3. Wengier's boot disk is not a clean boot disk. This should be clear, but it might still work. But it's not the safest. The real pure DOS boot disk is under Windows 98. When formatting a floppy disk, check the box to copy system files and then format it. Windows XP can also do it, but
Windows 98 formats to MS-dos 7.1
Windows XP formats to MS-dos 8.0
MS-dos 8.0 might have some compatibility issues
4. It's not that I look down on you. Flashing the BIOS is very dangerous. Most people here haven't flashed it. When flashing, be sure to check the BIOS version
Also the type of BIOS
Don't power off during flashing
Otherwise, after flashing, your motherboard will be bricked.
It must be sent for repair.
You definitely can't fix it yourself.
Have you heard of the CIH virus?
It's the same principle!
I and Master Rushi,
Seeing that you've asked such novice questions
Of course we have to be worried about you
This is for your own good!
Don't want to harm you.
Sincerely hope you come to our forum next time
Not in an internet cafe!

Comrade Shen Jie explained so carefully, the original poster should understand...

But this is all due to Shen Jie alone, heh heh... Pulling me in, I really can't take the credit...

There is also a safe way. As long as your BIOS chip can be pulled out. You can find a merchant who writes chips to buy another chip, it's just a few more yuan, and then write the new BIOS to replace it. If it really doesn't work, you can just switch back to the original chip. Then you won't be afraid no matter how you update the BIOS in the future.

He doesn't have this ability!

Shen Jie, it seems I wrongly blamed you.
So you were doing it for my own good!
I'm sorry! I'm apologizing to you here.
And I also want to thank you for such a detailed explanation!

Really thank you

Also, do you like writing poems!
You wrote such a long post
It has some flavor of prose
And you didn't use many punctuation marks
See if I imitate it well?
Hehe

Oh, by the way, what I mean by can't shut down
I mean that after shutting down, the prompt "You can now safely shut down" appears, and you have to cut the power to turn it off
I wonder if it's related to BIOS upgrade?

There are multiple reasons for this phenomenon. The two major hardware components, the mainboard and the power supply, and even some system malfunctions can also lead to the phenomenon of being unable to shut down normally...

Go and check the power management options in your BIOS. There must be many options there. The reason you can't power off is definitely due to choosing the wrong one among them!

The person upstairs, is it so absolute?

Because the younger brother has had such an experience!
