Answer» I am trying to load an old!!!! LAPTOP that has no cd rom drive with just ms-dos. I have found several versions but they are all images for loading with a cd-rom. I can not figure out how to get it to install with just the floppies. I think I have all of the components but know how to put them on floppies to make it boot and install from just the floppies. Can anyone HELP? This is needed for an old program for a fire department to run an old radio system. Don't ask
Thanks for any help, very appreciated.A valid image of MSDOS 6.22 will have the 4 required zips to create the floppies needed... Where did you DLoad from ? ?ya make a bootable floppy from winxp and use it .. Another method is to remove the hard drive from the laptop and stick it into a desktop as a slave drive using the proper adapter. Then set up that drive with all the stuff on it. And, you will need to have a floppy disc that has the system stuff on it. So once you get all back together you use the floppy to install the system files onto a hard drive. Or you COULD use some variation of that. MS-DOS does not require lots of hardware drivers, so you could actually use a desktop machine and install the system on the disc from the laptop. Once you have a FULL OPERATING MS-DOS system on your desktop, using the borrowed laptop drive, then the last thing is just to take that drive and put it back in the laptop and there you are. Or some variation of that.
