DOS 6.22 3 disk setup troubles
Hello,
A friend of mine gave me a copy of the 3 disk set for installing DOS on a hard drive. For some reason the first disk will not boot and start the install. We have tried xcopy, copy and zipping and then e-mailing the contents of the disk. Still no luck. Any suggestions? Thanks. |

You cannot xcopy, copy or zip a bootable disk. You have to make a floppy disk image, mail that and then write the image back to a floppy.

Any idea where I can find instructions? First 20 hits with yahoo were a bust.

There's a MS-DOS 6.22 bootdisk at Boot Disk Project site.

Try winimage www.winimage.com
It allows you to back up and create from back up floppies including MS Dos boot and other non-dos disks. It's functional shareware and one of the few shareware tools I actually purchase. Last edited by jstillion; 03-07-2005 at 03:31 PM.. |
