Your MS-DOS Starter Pack is a lifesaver. It makes things soo much easier to get going.

[SUCRA]

Saved my life for the 300th time. I litteraly came in youtube thinking: "I hope phil has a video about how to install dos" for my current project. Thanks man.

I was struggling with CD-ROM support and this fixed it, thanks so much!

I remember my DOS6.22 days back in early 1996.... started of with an 850mb hdd in a 486dx4-100Mhz system.

Thanks Phil. Your channel is like gold mine. I am about to build my very first 486 and this video will definately help a lot

Thanks Phil that MS-DOS starter pack helped me out getting the cd drive to work on my old gateway 2000 witch is older than me

"And it will create three 2TB partitions"

Don't you think It's maybe a bit too much for MS-DOS?
But then again you could fit lots of doom mods there.

Great, now I feel guilty about all of the perfectly fine old PC's I threw away!

hi, i have a ib970rf ibase motherboard sitting on a backplane, i have to install DOS6.22 on it, but it does not have a floppy drive slot, only USB slot available, please drop a word of advice, note that i have images of DOS floppy 1, 2, 3 and a separate boot floppy for partitioning . also note that i have installed DOS on IDE Floppy drive based motherboard rocky-4786evg-rs-r41 many a times in past for my industrial automation such motherbords are obsolete now Thank You

[somacruz]

Do you have advice for partition schemes that accommodate OS2/Warp ? Thank you for the video btw.

[johnd]

Informative, useful, and well presented. Well done!

[dennisyounkin]

Oh boy the good old days!! When you had to create bootup disks to get games to run!!!

[chaowalitmuangpaen]

i have question dose the MS-DOS after reboot i can 't format There is a message Invalid drive specification

[charlesfountain]

Where's the link you mentioned in this video - NO can Find... Excellent video anyway - keep up good work... Much enjoyed...

[garyklinkert]

Great video and boot-up menu, very helpful! However, the CD-ROM is not detected by the system when I boot up. Does the CD-ROM driver require the sound blaster software to be setup beforehand if the optical drive is plugged into the IDE on the sound card (mine is)?

awesome i plan on doing this to an old medion laptop that thing can barely handle win7 :D so i plan on making it a dos machine with a crap ton of older games and such.
because the laptop is super light i kinda have a no internet dos gaming machine. but i also plan on saving my passwords on it as my 3rd storage for them.

[KOFDATA]

Thanks for the starter pack - great idea. In case someone would like to remove the starter pack what would be the best way going about it?

[mister_mess]

Hi Phil, great vid as usual. I'm a long time follower, on Vogons also ;)
Now, it's time for you to make some vids on how to fine-tune autoexec and config files ;)

Congrats, again from Italy.

Can you get around the 4x2GB partition limit if you put in multiple physical drives? I remember reading somewhere that earlier versions of DOS (before 4.0) could only support up to 32MB partitions, but could have up to 2 partitions on up to 23 logical drives (which could be spread between 2 physical drives). I think it was a Vogons thread
