dvdbcn Posted October 29, 2004 Posted October 29, 2004 HOW TO INSTALL MSDOS 6.22 FROM CD-ROM??? I TRY ALL AND NOT WORK!! NEED HELP PLEASE!!
brucewong Posted October 29, 2004 Posted October 29, 2004 Simply,you can make an image file for that VERSION of DOS.Or just tell if you want it from me!Drop me your email!
htc Posted October 29, 2004 Posted October 29, 2004 for MS-DOS you donot need to create any hdd-image nor to run setup.exe/install.exe etc.The prerequisite for a MS DOS version < v7.1(v7.1 with FAT32-support):1. a formated FAT12/FAT16 partition2. a valid DOS boot sector3. files for booting: io.sys. msdos.sys. command.com4. files ptional: config.sys, autoexec.bat, himen.sys......the simplest way to do that is:1. putt a bootable dos floppy image on cs and make boot link to it2. boot cd from the floppy image3. type command: sys c: (optional command for better compatibility: format c: /q/u/s )4. type command: xcopy /h /s a:\*.* c:\you can, of course, put step 3 and 4 in a batch file(i.e. autoexec.bat)

jaclaz Posted December 22, 2004 Posted December 22, 2004 This could (or could not) be of help:http://www.winimage.com/bootpart.htmBOOTPART by Gilles Vollant can:1) Write the bootrecord for ANY of these systems:DOS 6.22Windows 95/98/MEWindows NT/2K/XP/2003 (and Bart's/PE)2) this bootrecord can be written to either:a) a fileb) the actual MBR3) If you write the NT/2K/XP/2003 to MBR you can use the BOOT.INI selection to multiboot, providing that you have created the bootsector files for the other systemsThis WONDERFUL utility has been developed with the aim of simplifying the process of multibooting, but it can be used for other purposes too.If you want to "install" DOS, traditionally you had to boot from a DOS diskette and then issue the command sys a: c:What if you need to "install" DOS 7.1 (the one that comes with Win98) and you haven't got a DOS 7.1 bootable floppy?You need to make it.Using bootpart, you can boot from a bootable floppy with DOS 6.22, copy (say from another drive, from CD rom or whatever) the three needed files of the 7.1 version:command.commsdos.sysio.systhen issue these bootpart commands (bootpart.exe must be somewhere):BOOTPART WIN95 BOOT:C:BOOTPART REWRITEROOT:C:(the first command re-builds the boot record on the Hard Disk substituting whatever was before with a windows 95/98/ME one)(the second command makes sure that io.sys and msdos.sys are moved at the beginning of the root directory)similarly you can do it for MSDOS 6.22BOOTPART DOS622 BOOT:C:BOOTPART REWRITEROOT:C:jaclaz
htc Posted December 27, 2004 Posted December 27, 2004 We use this appl since many, many, and many years. I know it very well.But brucewong had another problem... so just post a answer of a hot topic, don't post a blind shot on a cold topic(silence since monthes!)
jaclaz Posted December 28, 2004 Posted December 28, 2004 htc,once again I find your attitude inexplicable and slightly aggressive.I am sure you know perfectly (like most of us) how to make DOS boot, (and you explained it very well in your previous post).I was pointing out a different way to achieve the same result.I am very happy to know that you already knew about it, and that you have used it for years.However the don't post a blind shot on a cold topic(silence since monthes!)could be (maybe) accepted if it came from an Administrator/Moderator, NOT from another member.As you might gather if you actually READ the thread, you'll see that dvdbcn replied on the 21st of December.This should mean that till that date dvdbcn hadn't yet resolved his problem.The day after I posted what I thought could be an alternative method to the one you posted.There is no use in dividing threads in cold or hot.The good thing about this (and other boards) is that you search through it and hopefully find an answer to your question, even if it's on a "cold" thread.Take it easy, bro.Jaclaz
