China DOS Union

I am gmy, the webmaster of DOS Home.

After using the "Install with only 1 disk" installation, I found that installing MSDOS71 damaged the original WIN98SE. The main manifestations are: when booting WIN98, the registry is lost, after entering the desktop, the monitor is not recognized, and Chinese characters are all turned into underscores. After analysis, it has been solved:

Modify the following files on drive C:

MSDOS.SYS (first remove the attributes)

windir=C:\windows
winbootdir=c:\windows
HostWinBootDrv=c
;SystemReg=0

Autoexec.bat
path c:\windows;c:\windows\command;c:\dos71

Config.sys
drive=c:\windows\emm386.exe ram

Test environment: VPC, drive C has WIN98SE installed

That's right. In fact, if you want to enter Win95, Win98(SE) after installing this MS-DOS 7.10, you need to first enter the WIN directory and then type WIN (instead of directly using D:\WIN98\WIN to start Win9x). For example:

D:
CD D:\WIN98
WIN

This should not have any errors. But this is a good idea, I can add a function to this installation program to automatically set the Win9x path in MSDOS.SYS.

Okay, I just added the function to automatically set the path for Win9x (95-98SE), so you can directly use the WIN command under the MS-DOS 7.10 command line to start the Win9x GUI directly, so as to truly coexist peacefully with the installed Win9x; and added the installation warning function for MS-DOS 8/WinME, so that users can choose whether to continue the installation program. The download address remains the same (as above).

Update again!

This time, the main update is on the plug-in function. It supports automatically searching for autorun plug-ins in the CD-ROM (up to 4 CD-ROM drives can be searched!). This makes the MS-DOS 7.10 installation program prompt whether to install the set-to-automatically-run plug-ins in the CD-ROM when it runs; at the same time, support for plug-in nesting is added, that is, the function of directly calling other plug-ins from one plug-in is allowed. In this way, especially the localization effect when this MS-DOS 7.10 installation disc is placed in the CD-ROM to make a 1.44MB/2.88MB boot disk is greatly enhanced. Of course, some other small updates have also been made, such as supporting displaying the version of the plug-in, etc.

The installation program will automatically search the following path in the CD-ROM: \dos71\addons\autorun. If the autorun.dat, setup.dat, and diskvol.txt files exist simultaneously in this path, the installation of the plug-in will be carried out according to the installation information in them.

Method of plug-in nesting:
Add commands like the following in the autorun.bat of a plug-in:

set add_dir=The path of another plug-in
call setup AddOns2
...

The download address remains unchanged (same as above).

Brilliant

I just used the latest plug-in nesting function of the installer to make a plug-in disk that simultaneously has three Chinese character systems: TW (Tianhui), CCDOS97, and PDOS95! Just put this disk into the drive and select install, and then the system will automatically prompt whether to install the above three Chinese character systems respectively! Everyone is welcome to download and use it~~

In fact, making nested plug-ins is really very simple (a nested plug-in only needs two lines). Everyone (especially Roy, etc.) can take a look and make more.

The following is the download of this plug-in with three Chinese character systems:

Urgent! Urgent! Urgent! How to use the *.img file I downloaded!!!! How to open the.img file???

Wengier, come and help me quickly

I copied dos7_1 into the floppy disk but it's not big enough. The floppy disk is 1.38m and the file is 1.4m. So anxious!

hello

The IMG file can be expanded to a floppy disk using HD-COPY or WinImage. Or it can also be directly used as a floppy disk image file for virtual machines like VPC or VMWare, or for bootable CDs.

I. It is suggested to add the commonly used PDOS95 to give new hard disk users the feeling of installing the "full version of MS-DOS7.1" without the sense of incompleteness. If there is insufficient space, the less commonly used MSBUCKUP and DOSSHELL can be deleted.

II. It is suggested to download the latest WBAT2.4 and localize it, or write an article about its usage (parameters). It is estimated that your experience is already very rich, and it can also be regarded as writing a summary of work!

First, it is suggested to add commonly used PDOS95 to give new hard disk users the feeling of installing "MS-DOS 7.1 complete version" without the defect of incompleteness. If the space is insufficient, you can delete the less commonly used MSBUCKUP and DOSSHELL.

Currently, PDOS95 is made in the add-on disk. For example, there is its add-on disk here:

http://newdos.yginfo.net/dosware/addon/pdos95.zip (only PDOS95 add-on)

http://newdos.yginfo.net/dosware/addon/chisys.zip (with three kinds of Chinese character system add-ons)

Do you mean to put it directly into the DOS installation disk?

Wengier: Does the full installation version of MS-DOS 7.10 have a hard disk installation version? My computer's floppy drive is broken.

Help, wingier. The computer has Windows 98 installed. When installing the full installation version of MSDOS710, there is no prompt for dual-boot. After installation, it can only directly enter DOS without the dual-boot option appearing. Each time, I have to type "win" at the prompt to start 98. How can I set it to dual-boot?
