First, if you are running WinXP, you will have to boot MS-DOS from floppy or CD and If you are using NTFS partitions, MS-DOS won't be able to see them. And the more important thing, you won't be able to run DOSBox under pure MS-DOS because it's a native Windows/Linux/Mac application. There is no DOSBox for MS-DOS. The bright side is there are some sound card emulators (mostly SB) for MS-DOS yet, but don't get too excited about it. Most of them suck and are a pain in the butt to run.

Warning!!

MSDOS cleans the partiton table when you install it. It means that you will lose all the data that's on your hard disk.

Furthermore, there are many problems with running old DOS gzmes on a new computer, even if you run it in MAS-DOS:
- You 'll have to use moslo to slow down the computer for the badly timed games
- You'll need to find DOS drivers for your sound card. If your sound card is a few years old, you have a chance to find them, there aren't DOS drivers for recent cards anymore.
- USB mices don't work in DOS (dunno about USB keyboards)

...

Furthermore, AFAIK, MSDOS is still copyrighted. Downloading it is illegal.
You can try FreeDOS.

The bright side is there are some sound card emulators (mostly SB) for MS-DOS yet, but don't get too excited about it. Most of them suck and are a pain in the butt to run.

I never heard of SB emulators for DOS, could you tell me more about it ?

Question answered. 😀 Thanks.

I'll probably just try to find an old puter at a thrift or Flea Market or something. But until then... There is always this wonderful program.

Thanks for your help.

I think you misunderstood me. I didn't want to mean SB emulators, it's just emulation of some sound cards in ms-dos tends to have some fallback SB compatibility of some sort.

Ok thx 😀

You are welcome. 😎
