I'm a computer newbie and haven't installed an operating system before. For example, if I have a machine that's already been partitioned, set it in CMOS to boot from the CD-ROM, and then insert the CD, can I install the operating system that way, or do I still need to load the CD-ROM driver?

To tell the truth, I haven't installed one either. But you can refer to the following three articles: How to install Windows 98 on a computer without an operating system: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;zh-cn;221829 How to use the real-mode CD-ROM drivers on the Windows 98 startup disk: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;zh-cn;190303 Protected-mode CD-ROM drive support in Windows: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;zh-cn;151634

You can first boot with a DOS startup floppy, then use commands like SYS to transfer the system, and then use commands like COPY to copy the other DOS commands. That way a simple DOS system is installed. For example, try the MS-DOS 7.10 boot disk I made: http://newdos.yginfo.net/dosware/mdos71bd.zip

Moderator, what I mean is installing the WINDOWS operating system! Under DOS, can the CD-ROM boot from the CD? Do I need to load the CD-ROM driver? Sorry, trouble you with this!

Do I need to load the CD-ROM driver? Sorry, trouble you with this! Under DOS, the CD-ROM can boot from the CD, it's just that the CD-ROM driver has already been loaded during the boot process!

Didn't you read the article "How to install Windows 98 on a computer without an operating system"? It explains it very clearly. If you've never installed it before, then I'll give you another article: http://www.hongen.com/pc/newer/setup/98az/index.htm

What is the command under DOS to copy all files and subdirectories in a certain directory?

The following is quoted from 禹龙's post at 2003-3-15 21:20:55: What is the command under DOS to copy all files and subdirectories in a certain directory? XCOPY, LCOPY, XXCOPY, etc. all work.

When I open the MS-DOS you made, it's all garbled text. What's going on? Please help solve it.

Are you opening it in a Windows window?

The CD-ROM boot setting in CMOS has nothing to do with the DOS system. If you're booting into DOS, you need to load the CD-ROM driver, then enter the CD-ROM drive letter, cd to the installation directory, and run setup.

After partitioning, you still have to use format /s to format it. Only a formatted hard disk can be used. The /s parameter can only be used to format the primary partition, that is, only drive C can use it. For the other drives, when using format: you don't need the parameter. For example, to format drive D, just type format d: and press Enter.
