It could be my cd drive, but that could not be it. I was going to try mistake edition, but it would not be worth it. I actually tried 2000, but i cant get it to boot off of a cd or a usb. From there, you could probably just install VirtualBox or PCem and you'd be much better off to get the most out of your computer, as installing MS-DOS by itself would not have the drivers for your sound card or video card. With specs like it has, Windows 7 would honestly be pretty good as well on such a machine (if you have enough disk space and could afford another 4GB of RAM). My suggestion would be to install Windows 2000 or even (shudder) Millenium Edition to truly experience the computers of old. It includes 'native' CD and Mouse drivers, unlike 6.22.Īlthough it is your choice, MS-DOS would probably not be a very good use of that computer.

(Basically the DOS included with Windows 98).Īgreed, 7.1 CD would be much better for this purpose. Everyone should have a floppy drive, or better yet a dozen! :PĪlso, if you just want real-mode DOS, but don't care about the version, you can also try the unofficial CDU DOS '7.1' CD. Or better yet, just attach a USB 1.44mb floppy drive. But someone might be able to recommend a better tool. I've use Imageburn 2.4.4.0 to make such CDs. Note that to see the rest of the CD you must include DOS CD-ROM drivers. Basically, you can do that by creating a bootable 1.44mb floppy disk image, and then using a CD-burning program that supports it to create a bootable CD with that image (boot options are usually specified in a special settings or options menu).
