To do this using MS-DOS 8.0 from the Windows ME Boot Disk, follow these steps: 1. Do fdisk exactly like in this video. 2. Format C: /u /v:{Volume Name Here} 3. Take these three files from the Windows ME OEM CD (You can get one at WinWorldPC): 1. \Win9x\Tools\NetTools\fac\ltools.dta\io.sys 2. \Win9x\Tools\NetTools\fac\ltools.dta\command.com 3. \Win9x\Tools\NetTools\fac\ltools.dta\msdos.sys 4. Move them all to the C: drive. 5. Edit msdos.sys to remove the logo and registry, then add all the attributes. 6. Add all the attributes to io.sys. 7. Add the EMM386 from the Windows ME Windows Folder. 8. Base System Installed! 9. The Boot Menu itself does work, but the Windows ME Boot Disk for some reason can't run emm386 at all. Also, using himem.sys is not necessary, as the MS-DOS 8.0 io.sys includes himem.sys in it.

While Extended Memory works on 8.0 even better than it did on 7.1, 8.0 should really only be considered as a novelty, as, like with Windows, Seven is the best version.

It's important to get the No Ramdrive version. The Ramdrive version does not have the Format utility! You can also add DisableLog=1 to MSDOS.SYS so that it prevents from creating BOOTLOG.TXT and BOOTLOG.PRV after every boot, which you can delete after putting this line, for an ever sleeker root directory. Also, it would be nice to hack the COMMAND.COM (or is it IO.SYS?) to replace the Microsoft Windows 98 Startup Menu text in the boot menu with a a custom one, as it's distracting!

With a partitions manager for windows we can decrease the primary boot partition without to destroy the content, if we defrag the disk before to put the data near together. And than we can move the content to get space for another primary partition and for a second DOS boot manager for to hide and unhide the just not used primary partition and for to select DOS or Windows for booting. So we can separate DOS from Windows, because only one primary partition is visible at boot time. But within Windows we can temporary make the hidden partion visible for to exchange some files. But all of the partions manager from windows to linux are crazy and can do ugly things with partition. So the best way is to delete all partition and start again to divide the disk with one or more partion.

a bit late I know! a Pentium III as a DOS-only PC is totally fine; perhaps on the high end but at least you're not wasting the PC compared to doing it on a Core i7 or something. since you actually want to run both MS-DOS 7.1 and Windows 98, you can literally do that by partitioning the hard drive with FDISK and installing DOS on one partition and Windows on the other. without actually doing that though, since MS-DOS 7.1 is just the DOS from the Windows 95 OEM Service Releases and Windows 98, you can do the following to set the PC to start in MS-DOS mode and then Windows 98's graphical operating environment is started manually by typing "win", same as Windows 3.1 etc: (Boot into Windows 98) Click Start, Shutdown, and Shutdown the PC in MS-DOS mode. Type cd\ to get to the C:\> prompt. Type attrib msdos.sys -r -a -s -h Type edit msdos.sys Locate the line BOOTGUI=1 and change the line to BOOTGUI=0 Save the file and reboot the PC.

Yes it is possible to use at maximum four primary IDE partition with four different MS DOS installed on one hard drive, but only one of them can be visible and the other three of them have to be hidden by a boot manager. All of the primary partition have to fit into the first 2 GB of the hard drive, so we can give each one ~ 512 MB for drive C:. And with the boot manager we can select which of them is visible ready for booting. We can install on each primary partition a bootmanager, so we can jump from bootmanager to bootmanager befor we boot DOS from one of the primary partition. On the secondary partition we can use the extended partition typ to use the rest space of the hard drive with more driver letters. And from the mainboard bios we can switch to the other IDE channel, so that we can use a secondary drive for booting with additional four primary partition. And if we use an IDE-Controller card or SCSI-Controller card for the ISA/VLB/PCI-Bus then we can enter the card bios of the controller for enable to boot from the controller card.

Natively, without third party boot managers, Windows 95 retail (or 95A) will happily dual boot with an older version of DOS such as 5.0 or 6.22, but you won’t have FAT32 support with the older version or with 7.0 from 95. You basically hit F8 to bring up the menu to choose the older version as needed. You’ll have to find patches to make 95B or 95C dual boot with an older version, and if you do, be sure there is at least one FAT16 partition for the old version of DOS. There are also handy tutorials online to triple boot DOS 6.x (or 5.x), Win 95, and NT 3.51 (or 4.0) which can all share the same FAT16 partition if you wish. Otherwise, if you plan on using more versions of DOS outside of 5.x / 6.x + 7.0, then you’ll want a third party boot manager.

SOLVED The version of the boot disc image that had missing files, creates a ramdrive (ussually next one after cd-rom) with the files I didn't find. As easy as change to the ramdrive letter (d: or e:) and copy again all the files needed to "C:\DOS" ************************************************************************************************** There's something I don't get. The win98 floppy image used to install ms-dos 7.1 is a custom image? The floppy image I download from the links don't have mscdex, edit, attrib... or do Phil copy the contents over a base 6.22 hd installation?

Did you boot from it?
@philscomputerlab6 жыл бұрын
Have you checked all the drives? AFAIK this boot disk creates a RAM Drive and unpacks files. There are two versions of this bootdisk, one with RAM Drive, the other one without.

Hey man i don't won't not to praise you or anything,but i don't know what is wrong with your bootable floopy disc that you have on ms-dos 7.10,couse to not have the windows 98 splash screen,on my computer doesn't require youre msdos.sys file additional commands,commands like [options] don't require those comands like.The only command you must have in msdos.sys file is ; united with any text,for example ;w98ebd,and that's it all man...
