Comment:

I've got a Digital 486 PC, 250mb hard drive, that I'd like to load DOS 6.2 onto. I've got the original Microsoft disks, and the Readme file says to insert disk 1 (the Setup disk) into drive A, turn the computer on, and follow the instructions on the screen. The only thing that happens, though, is during the boot-up process the screen displays a "non system disk" error message along with the instruction to remove the disk from drive A and hit any key. The only way I've been able to get the computer to successfully boot up is to insert a Windows 95 boot disk; this brings the system to the "A:\" prompt. Any ideas?

Download a version of DOS from here (since DOS 6.20 is not on here) and install that.
