I'm using a company machine. It doesn't have a floppy drive. The machine has a Win2K/XP dual-boot system. I really want to install a DOS system as well, so I downloaded an MS-DOS 7.10 full installation edition from this site. After extracting it, the file format is IMG, and it needs to be expanded to the hard disk. But under Win2K/XP, undisk can't run. I don't know if there are any other tools or other ways. I'd greatly appreciate it if some expert could give me a bit of guidance!! Thanks.

Take a look at the sticky thread.

It doesn't say how to install it.

Under Win2K/XP, just use WinImage instead of UNDISK.

Many thanks to webmaster Wengier and moderator cn_archer for the guidance. I successfully installed DOS 7.1. At startup, three system boot entries appear: XP, 2K, and DOS. But I'd like to know how to switch between DOS and the 2K system. For example, exit DOS and then enter 2K. I tried some commands for exiting DOS, but none of them worked.

Direct switching is impossible. Reboot the system, or use a system manager like GRUB for DOS to switch.

Thanks, webmaster of "New DOS Era" I've already installed it successfully

If I uninstall DOS, do I just directly delete the installed DOS files on the hard disk, and then delete the DOS boot information in the boot.ini boot file?
