You're not going to belive this...

Hi, I hope I am not breaking the rules. (Certenly not doing something illigal)
But I'm looking for a MS-DOS vr 6.00(or something) I recently dug up Litiraly an old comuter. I don't know it's capabilities, But I need MS-DOS to find out. It's an antique, and I'm feeling nostalgic. Please help

very unbelieveable

I'm not sure where you could get that, and I'm not sure if it is considered warez or not.

[Xaenn]

It would be considered warez...it is an operating system afterall, regardless of how old it is. You could always try freedos or something like that..

[terraguard]

If it is werez then I'll leave the subject as it is i-i... I don't want to cause any damage

[Paul Miller]

I wouldn't really worry about it... and if you are going to, then you can delete the thread, by deleting your first post here (though.... I haven't done it since the update).

I'm pretty sure dos is included on a basic boot disk. Everything from Windows95 up can make boot disks as far as I know. Just pop in a floppy, format it and select make boot disk. Done, not warez.

I'm almost sure you can get it on microsoft.com.

Here you go, free isn't warez right?

Yes but is it the same as MS-DOS ver. 6.00 or just an Emergency boot disc?

Oh wait a problem!
The file seems to be bigger a floopy (the file is 2.45 Mega) How will I be able to operate the other computer?Regurdless.
Thanks guys I really mean it.

lol, never thought that I would see the day. I was interested in MS-DOS a while back but I gave up because it was too hard to install.

[terraguard]

There are servel files there like Double space. But it works FROM a floppy disc TO the computer... I think?!

[Xaenn]

Yeah, I don't think it was available some time ago.

[terraguard]

anyway it doesn't work. Nither The Format: Create MS-DOS start up file
or downloading the actuall file from Microsoft and... think about it... anyone has an idea?

[polobunny]

Try to run the setup under windows. I think it's gonna extract file or soemthing. Brb.

Yeah, that's what it does. Run it under windows, it's aa pkzip packed file, it will auto extract itself in the same directory as the exe.

But, forget that, it's a update for ms-dos if you already have ms-dos.:/

Edit->You can always download freedos.

[terraguard]

and if I don't... well any way I've found the location of the problem
I've ran the comp. Bios (and now you'll now HOW old it is) It ask for Booting order there's A,C. B:\ Is what I need. but I can only swap from A, C to C, A X_X
For those who forgot/Don't know
A) the old BIG 1.2 Mega Disc
B) the smaller Floppy we know today
c) Hard disc

[Paul Miller]

Open up the computer. You can probably change the order of the floppies on the chain, and that should help you out.
