You need to copy MSCDEX.exe for the version of DOS you are using to the \DOS directory. There is another possibility. If you are installing a DOS driver in Windows and the installation software looks for MSCDEX in the DOS directory, you will manually have to change the path in the autoexec.bat from C:\DOS\MSCDEX to C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\MSCDEX
