### Method for Installing MS-DOS 7.10 in a Virtual Machine under WINDOW NT Environment
Many people don't know how to install it. Actually, it's very simple. The key is to format the virtual disk you partitioned to FAT16/32 format; otherwise, the disk check won't pass. You can use many partitioning tools. The simplest one is the GDISK tool自带 in the CD provided by this forum.
There is a GDISK tool in the directory of the MSDOS 7.10 installation disk, which is for system partitioning.
Specific commands:
Enter the installation environment, press Cancel installation, and a command prompt will appear.
Do a DIR and find GDISK. Type in GDISK. Then the following starts:
GDISK displays physical disk information.
GDISK 1 /CRE /PRI /SZ:30% /FOR /Q: Create a primary partition on disk 1, with a size of 30% of the disk capacity. /CRE means create, /PRI means primary partition, /SZ:30% means the size of the disk partition, /FOR /Q means quick format. Here, the C: drive is established.
GDISK 1 /CRE /EXT: Set the remaining disk as an extended partition. /EXT means extended partition.
GDISK 1 /CRE /LOG /SZ:30% /FOR /Q: This is a logical partition, drive D:.
GDISK 1 /CRE /LOG /SZ:40% /FOR /Q: This is a logical partition, drive E:.
If you want to delete partitions, use the command:
GDISK 1 /DEL /ALL: Delete all partitions on disk 1.
