Hi!

Does ANYONE know of a website address where I can download ms-dos. The version i am looking for is not the one where you put it all on floppy disks, it the version where you install it onto a hardrive.
And if anyone knows of a link could they guide me how to install it.

My computer hardrive is currently formatted to NTFS and has no file contained on the drive.

Any help would be good thanks,
Kyle.....
Maybe you are a little confused, or maybe I am. HOPEFULLY I can help.

In your quest to download MS-DOS this thread maybe of use. http://www.experts-exchange.com/Operating_Systems/MSDOS/Q_20519601.html

As you probably already know MS-DOS is an Operating System. MS-DOS is not made for a floppy disk version. Floppies are a method of installing the Operating System on your PC. 8-)You cannot legally download MS-DOS.

If you get it, it is on 3 diskettes, and it will not work on an NTFS drive. You would either need to install fresh or use a program like Partition Magic.

It has FAT file system so that is a 2 meg. max drive size it can use.

What are you trying to do?Try FreeDOS.To install FreeDOS or any other operating system, you will need to to partition your hard drive and set up a dual boot system, use another computer or use a virtual machine application.

To non-destructively install a dual boot setup on a system that already has an operating system will require something like Partition Magic which is around US$70 and VMware Workstation comes in at around US$200, so a cheap low spec second hand machine is PERHAPS the BEST option.Quote
