Hey all. I'm trying to get a version of DOS that will allow me to see & use a 15gb partition. Also, is there a way to use system memory instead of conventional memory?

As to 15GB, w98se. Various;y known as DOS 7.10 etc and claimed by some to be non-existant. "use system memory instead of conventional memory?" Dunno what that means. M2 If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.

.. doubtful if anyone does - must be that 'private terminology' Clearly the DOS in Win95B - -> Win98 supports large disks (aka "DOS7.10"). No way to get that from 622, possibly some of the M$ alternates Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

PTS-DOS 32 is will support large hard drives: http://www.phystechsoft.com/ptsdos/products.php?page=4

OK. How do I install DOS 7.1 and create a DOS 7.1 machine?

You need a LEGAL copy of Windows 95B/95C or 98FE/98SE and follow these instrcuctions: http://www.ctyme.com/msdos7.htm Otherwise use PTS DOS 32.............. Also see following for DOS hardware/software: http://83.67.55.228/

Forget legal. Get a 98se boot disk: www.bootdisk.com M2 If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.
