Solve : Installing Dos6.22 from CD (I've got a problem)?

Answer» <html><body><p>I have a n old very basic computer I want to install Dos6.22 on, I do not have any usable floppy disk's.<br/>I have a CD to install <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/dos-432778" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about DOS">DOS</a> from (I've done all the preparation etc.) It boots ok and goes through a couple of screens <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/untill-1439673" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about UNTILL">UNTILL</a> it gets to one that says "format 2 floppies to make uninstall disks" It then says put disk one in "a" when ready and press any key to proceed.<br/>I am now <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/stuck-2283098" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about STUCK">STUCK</a> because I don't have any floppies that are usable and I don't really want any uninstall disks but there is no way past this screen untill you make the disks.<br/>I did read somewhere that you can do a couple of key strokes to bypass the making of these disks (I can't find the article again)<br/>Can anyone <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/help-239643" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about HELP">HELP</a> PleaseMSDos never came on a CD....where is this CD from ? ?What difference does that make? There are loads of MSDos CD's &amp; CD images available for free.<br/>This is probably because floppy disks never were reliable, and most modern computers don't even have a floppy disk drive.<br/>These CD images are the exact same MSDos6.22 but everything is in the same place.<br/>Even if I had floppy disks that worked I would not want to create un-install disks.<br/><br/>I have four computers and none of them will read or write to any of the old floppy disks I had.<br/><br/>And yes they are not write protected.The difference it makes is that it's a copyright violation and our policy here is we do not assist wth warez.

The "upgrade" versions; for example, MS-DOS 6.22 Step-up (6.0 to 6.22) Do, however.<br/><br/>Otherwise, no Uninstall disks are ever prompted or created.<br/><br/>In either case, you should be able to skip it by <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/running-1192206" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about RUNNING">RUNNING</a> setup with the /G switch.<br/><br/>Patio: Since it's prompting for Uninstall disks, it sounds like an upgrade version, which MS has for free download on their site (also, they are useless without a previous installed version of DOS, iirc). How it got on a CD image I haven't the faintest, though.Thanx for the heads up BC...
