Recently, my beloved computer completely crashed, and all personal data and important files on the hard drive were all lost. The loss is so great and the impact is so deep that it still makes me feel distressed...
Back in those days, in order to get a full version of DOS 7.1 (not an installation disk, but a "target disk" content containing all DOS commands), I specially got a 3.5-inch floppy drive and an old hard drive, and among dozens of old floppy disks, I picked out two that could still work, and that's how I achieved the goal.
And now the situation is even worse. Floppy drives are nowhere to be found, and floppy disks have become scarce resources; except for using virtual machines and CD installation methods, it seems I have no other way to get a complete DOS 7.1?
Therefore, I specially come back "home" to ask for help from all colleagues? Either teach me how to get a complete DOS 7.1 without a floppy drive, without using virtual machines, and of course without using a CD for XP/DOS dual-system installation, or just send me a finished product, so that it's also convenient for those DOS enthusiasts who want to have a taste of DOS 7.1 on a USB flash drive.
PS: Take this opportunity to also give a suggestion to Brother Wengier.
In your DOS software download library, currently there are only super boot disks of DOS 7.1, floppy disk versions or CD installation source disks. In these disks, some of the most commonly used commands, such as XCOPY, are lacking. And in order to get these most commonly used commands, either we install them ourselves or we find those unreliable things on other websites or forums by taking another way.
Therefore, it is strongly suggested to place a complete DOS 7.1 file package on your website again (it's best to put the DOS version corresponding to WINME on it too, but this is not very common). I wonder if it can be done?
