Hello,
I wanted to install MS-DOS and I inserted MS-DOS 6.22 Disk 1 into the FD drive but when it tries to boot from that disk, it says to remove the disk. I tried also to insert a boot disk with the basic files ( command.com; autoexec.bat etc) and it boots. So I try to copy them to the C: partition and after I remove the disk and restart it still requests me to insert a system disk. Does somebody know what I did wrong or what should I also try? Thanks in advance, >-Andy-< PS: Sorry, I posted this in a wrong forum, I ask the admin to move this post in the forum suitable for it |

It dosen`t work. I tryed the "sys C:" command and it says one one of the boot disks: " Bad command or filename" and on a other disk: "Incorrect DOS version"

Your DOS installation disk #1 is quite obviously defective. The best option is downloading the installlation disk images and burning them to fresh floppies, then boot with them and just follow the instructions.

A little off-topic:
Is MS-DOS Abandonware by now?

It isn't, but then... there is always FreeDOS.
