There are virtual floppy drives, one - key Ghost, MaxDOS and many other software. Why still can't restore the system?

DOS is a copyrighted software and needs to be purchased.

The entire system is broken, so what about a whole bunch? The relatively direct methods are two -
1. As the 5th floor said, hang the hard drive on another machine.
2. Bring an optical drive from another machine.

When the system cannot boot, boot with the boot disk. To prevent it from breaking down again in the future, you'd better make a boot disk.

The most thorough way is to remove the hard drive and hang it on another machine, install DOS, and then you can play with it as you like in the future...

I often encounter this situation. For some old company computers, the optical drive is not used frequently and is broken, and the virtual floppy drive made is also broken. When Windows crashes and can't enter the system, there is no way to repair it. Sometimes, like the poster, USB is not supported either. It's really annoying. Only by removing the hard drive, first installing the virtual floppy drive, entering DOS, and then restoring the GHOST backup

A DOS file won't exceed 1.4M (floppy disk), and add a DOS chip on the motherboard.
Bravo, great idea. But now many new motherboards support USB booting, so this is unnecessary. Adding a new function costs money.
