I need to know how I would install DOS 6.22 onto my drive w/o formatting it, or screwing up the partitions. Thanks!

If your drive is already partitioned as FAT16 partitions, and your drive is formatted, then the DOS install won't change anything. Just get the 3 install disks, insert disk 1, and type in setup.exe
Again, your partition has to be FAT16.

It seems many users are confused about the usage of format/fdisk. Most users should never need to use these especially fdisk. As ive found, (the hard way) the more you learn about pc's the less you have to format/fdisk your HD.
