China DOS Union

Wengier,
I want to install DOS 6.22, but I'm a newbie and not familiar with this. Could you please tell me how to do it? Can you give me detailed installation steps? And what issues should I pay attention to? (Such as in terms of hardware and software) Thanks a lot!!!

To install MS-DOS 6.22, you can run its built-in setup program SETUP and follow the prompts. The main points to note are that since MS-DOS 6.22 is very old, it does not support FAT32 partitions, long file names, or large hard drives. Therefore, if you want to support them, it is strongly recommended to use MS-DOS 7.10 or ROM-DOS 7.10, because their functions and practicality are much stronger than those of 6.22.

Isn't it said that HD_COPY is also needed? How is this software used? Can you tell me the specific operations when installing the system? If you want to connect to the network, how to configure the network card? What about the printer? I'm really sorry for asking so many questions.

Installing DOS doesn't require HD-COPY, but it might be needed when creating a boot disk. For the specific usage, you can refer here: http://www.hongen.com/pc/tools/systool/cipangj/hdcopy/hd0101.htm

The methods to configure network cards and printers under DOS can be found in the "DOS Usage" section of the website, which has introductions. The webpage can be downloaded in a package here: http://www2.zzu.edu.cn/ie/newdos/uploadImages/2002111722184894348.zip

My idea is to first download a hard disk version of DOS 6.22, and then use the boot disk of 6.22 to install DOS. But the downloaded boot file is in IMG format. Can this kind of file be run directly?

It is better to download an MS-DOS 7.10 boot disk, then use HD-COPY to expand the IMG disk image file to a floppy disk. Then boot with this floppy disk and install MS-DOS 6.22 or MS-DOS 7.10. Be sure to note that MS-DOS 6.22 does not support long file names, FAT32, and large hard disks, which may cause damage and unreadable, while MS-DOS 7.10 supports all of them.

Where can I download 7.10? The link here seems invalid.

Try this one (the most basic MS-DOS 7.10 boot disk):

Where can I download MS 7.10?
The software section of the packaging web page you provided doesn't have it.
Thank you!!
Also, if I install 6.22 on a 40G hard drive, is there any way to make the system recognize it?

Friend upstairs, is the DOS6.22 you downloaded a boot disk or a full version? The full version should have three IMG files.

It should be the full version, which contains 154 files.

If you use a 40G hard drive to install MS-DOS 6.22, I'm afraid only a small part of the space can be recognized by MS-DOS 6.22, which is a great waste. There is no problem with using MS-DOS 7.10. You can download the "MS-DOS 7.10 Complete Direct Run Version" in the packaging web page. The file can be downloaded from Fang Shao's FTP server:

Are there three IMG format image files or one large directory? If there are three IMG files, use HD-COPY to expand them to three floppy disks respectively. The method is very simple: run HD-COPY, select GET FROM FILES, then enter the correct path and file name of the IMG file in the lower column. Then insert the floppy disk and select WRITE.

Okay, I will go download it.
I will try to install it. If I encounter problems, I will trouble you again! )

yiyesong is a large directory, but I can also refer to your approach, anyway, it can be used in the future.
