Hello folks,
first post in this forum, i really want to try MS-DOS 6.22 in DOSBOX, i Googled to find this thread in this forum itself: Can I install ms-dos 6.22 inside dosbox? , but no on seems to talk of how to install MS-DOS 6.22.
I would really appreaciate if someone could guide me, is their some kind of cmd line, i h' all the 3 DISK of MS-DOS 6.22 but dont know how, i h' installed it on Virtual Box , but i m considering switshing to DOS-BOS simply because it consums a lot less memory than Virtual Box...
i know a lot of people h' already installed MS-DOS 6.22 , can u please offer some suggestions....
Hello folks,
thanks for redirecting, although i followed mirekluza exact same method made 10MB with Disk Image Creation Tool, and kept all the there DISK 1,DISK 2,and DISK 3. And kept in a d:\dosbox\ and followed this cmd line. [code]
mount d: d:\dosbox
imgmount c d:\c.img -size 512,63,16,20 -fs fat
boot -l c [/code]
1[B] 2STEPS MENTIONED BY mirekluza Do you want to create a floppy disk image or a hard disk image? 3Please type hd or fd. [hd] hd 4 5Enter the hard disk size in megabytes, between 1 and 32255 6[10] 7 8I will create a hard disk image with 9cyl=20 10heads=16 11sectors per track=63 12total sectors=20160 13total size=9.84 megabytes 14 15What should I name the image? 16[c.img] 17 18Writing: [] Done. 19 20I wrote 10321920 bytes to (null). 21 22The following line should appear in your bochsrc: 23ata0-master: type=disk, path="c.img", cylinders=20, heads=16, spt=63 24 25 262. I put the HD image (c.img) together with an image of a bootable floppy (msd60.ima) into the directory d:\dosbox on my disc. 27 283. Then I went on with creating of a patition on the disc. I started DOSBOX with the following lines: 29 30mount d: d:\dosbox 31imgmount 2 d:\c.img -size 512,63,16,20 -fs none 32boot d:\msd60.ima [/B]
Check the screen shots, how do i boot the DISK 1 from DOSBOX.
Any direction,,,someone who has already installed MS-DOS 6.22.
I would really make a picture TUT regarding Installing MS-DOS 6.22 in DOS-BOX. Hell their are not enough TUT or talks for this, some direction would be great. I cant help myself,since i m not a programmer,,,
But i really want to h' MS-DOS 6.22 is DOSBOX, its something every Windows users must h' since its built around/above DOS,,,and not having MS-DOS any version is at least a must h' for me.
First disk booted ,and asks for second disk, entering wont work, so i had to press Ctl+Alt+Del then gave boot d:\dosbox\disk1~2.ima
Its says non-system disks ,press any key to continue...how do i beat that.
can u please help me here, i dont h' whole night to go through the doc file, i m so close a little friendly gesture is much appreciated.
Yes i m going to use DOS-BOX primarily for dos games and for ms-dos only. i really pressed and running out of ideas.
The cmd was working ie., BOOT [diskimg1.img diskimg2.img .. diskimgN.img] no need for -l d as described frm the manual:
Maybe it was a blind fluek or just i was lucky, i pressed Ctl + F4 and Alt + F4 and also Shift + F4 randomely and furiously and it then began to install.
May be its a DOSBOX buggy.
However i could not boot to the img file. As described in the TUT ie., mount d: d:\dosbox
imgmount c d:\c.img -size 512,63,16,20 -fs fat
boot -l c
But i can' tload the MS-DOS it say: missing Operating System:
Now whats with this: How do i load MS-DOS already installed.
may be this is really stupid question. the above may not be the actual cmd. But i m not able to load or mount that c.img i.e.,ms-dos finished installing but unable to load it.Hope someone understood.. can someone kindly suggest how do i do that. As i said this is the first time i m installing ms-dos on dosbox. i m so close yet so far, any suggestion please.
