Bootable MS-DOS

• iallenlee on October 13, 2009 05:50 AM

  i can't see the files i burnt with the dos6.22 image when
  in dos mode, but they are present in XP. i used magiciso.
  
  another case, i burnt the bootable image in one CD, and the files in another. The pc booted in ms-dos, but the files in the other cd is corrupted.
  
  how am i going to fix this, thanks

  DOS 6.22 didn't come with built-in CD support. you'll have to specify a .SYS driver file for the CD-ROM drive/device in the CONFIG.SYS, and you'll have to run the MSCDEX.EXE (Microsoft CD Extensions) TSR program for you to be able to read CDs (ISO9660) in that ancient operating system.

  to the thread starter, do you really have to use MS-DOS 6.22?
  
  try FreeDOS instead: http://www.freedos.org/
  
  this one supports newer hardware/CPUs and has better device driver support. i'm sure you'll be more successful with this than with that ancient OS.

  plus you can't access ntfs with dos6.22

  also other versions? dos5.0?

  Use Hirens BootCD or Ultimate BootCD, it has tons of DOS applications, tools that can access FAT or NTFS partitions.

  OT:
  sir maitanong ko na rin may dos program kasi ako na ayaw mag run sa XP, pwede kayang gawing FAT32 ang XP para mag run yung dos program ko?

  Hindi supported ng XP mo ang DOS at 16 bit applications. Wala sa filesystem yun.
