Well, since MS DOS 7.00b was based on MS DOS 6.2 with drivespace3 instead of Double space, I would assume that you got it with only the 3 install disks. If this is the case, simply insert disk 1 of 3 in the machine and start it. Installation should begin automatically. Upon completion of install, remove all floppy disks from your machine and restart. When it is finished restarting, you should have a complete installation of MS DOS 7.00b.
