Hi
I really hope someone can help me on this. I am trying to install dos 6.22 to a laptop with no diskette-drive.

I have 3 dos setup disks and a dektop computer with cd burner. I put dos disk 1 in drive a and go into easy cd creator. Then i start an iso9660 bootable. It takes a copy of disk 1 and this works very well. I can boot from the disk and dos setup starts just as if from a floppy. I change language settings and it begins copying files. But this is as far as i get. It asks me to put setup disk #2 in drive a, but i cant get it to find the information on the cd.

I have tried to just copy all the files from the floppies to the root of the cd. Then i made a cd like this containing also empty texts files named "disk1", 2 and 3. Also ive made made them by the name "disk 1" etc. (7 spaces). Finally ive copied the files from the floppies into folders on the cd named "Disk1" etc. Still i cant get it to find disk 2 during installation. :(

What should i do?

One option is to burn a CD for each installation disk. I assume you are having problems, because your CD is labeled "Disk 1" and the setup program is looking for a disk labeled "Disk 2".

However, the installation process is more of a convenience than a necessity. If you can find a site with or have access to all of the extracted DOS files, you can also just add those to your bootable CD.

When you boot with your CD, format and sys your hard drive and copy all of the extracted DOS files into an "DOS" directory on C:\

This should work, although I'm sure someone will chime in if I've missed a step.

I first installed MS-DOS 6.22 onto a clean harddrive, Then I created a MS-DOS 6.22 bootable CD-ROM and copied the basic Autoexec.bat & Config.sys files onto it followed by all of the host harddrives C:\DOS Directory.

Then I created a Batch File with SYS & XCOPY commands to transfer system. This got round the install setup Disk 1,2,3 problem!

I found a (non-booting) CD issued by micron for OEM machines which contains a CD based version of DOS 6.22 and Windows 3.11. I got it off of ebay. Check there and other auctions to find another copy.
