"and how to make system the hard disk."

Say again?

Do you have some compelling reason for wanting to install those very limited (& nearly 20 year old) DOS versions? They are operating systems themselves, not programs you can install under WinXP - although (with some effort) you could set up a multiboot system - but one wonders "why?"

Resist the temptation to close your request for help with semantically-null questions like “Can anyone help me?”

3.3 is OK, but I would not touch 4.x with a barge pole.

I never used select.exe.


If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.
