China DOS Union

However, I once encountered a situation similar to what the netizen on floor 11 mentioned when making a CD boot. The boot CD I made used an IMG file to simulate the boot. When I first tested it, there were no problems at all. Because my C drive didn't have Windows 98 installed; it was an empty disk. Then when I took it to someone else's place, theirs had Windows 98 installed. As a result, the problem of not being able to enter Windows 98 occurred. When I deleted msdos.sys in the C drive, it became normal. I still don't know what the reason is to this day.

Thanks to yiyesong, I'll go back and try it on someone else's machine.

This guy still doesn't believe it, let him try it himself! Practice brings true knowledge!

To start the Win98 interface with an MS-DOS 7.10 boot disk, an important point is that the paths in MSDOS.SYS and the PATH path should be set correctly; otherwise, it won't boot.

The main file is msdos.sys in Windows 98. Replace it.

The main one file is msdos.sys in Windows 98. Replace it.

As long as there is a "winbootdir=." command in the section of A:\MSDOS.SYS, you can use the MS-DOS 7.10 boot disk to boot into the Win98 interface regardless of which folder the Win98 on the hard disk is in.

If 98 is installed under Windows on the C drive, you can delete the msdos.sys on the floppy disk, and then you can directly boot Win98 from the floppy disk.

Thanks, I've learned another trick.

Theory guides practice, and practice tests theory.

Dear old hands. Can Windows 2000 be booted from a floppy disk? If yes, how to make it? I don't know how to make a floppy disk yet... Please help, experts.

That friend who asked the question is really pitiful! There were solutions to this kind of problem eight hundred years ago, how could it be like that? The moderator is right.

Make a WIN98 bootable disk. Just copy the MSDOS.SYS in the root directory of drive C to drive A to replace the original one. I've tried it many times.

Usually, the ordinary Win98 boot disk cannot boot Win98 (many names do not match the reality!). But the super MS-DOS 7.10 boot disk I made can boot Win98 (many people have tried it).

definitely! Must practice before making comments. Please don't make any unconsidered opinions, otherwise "newbies" like me will really get "confused" and lose interest in learning "DOS".
