Trouble installing MSDOS 5.0

Comment:
Can anybody tell me why msdos 5.0 keeps asking for disk 1 during installation, when I already have it in the A:\ drive? Can't install, because of this problem. If it is because of a file labeled disk 1, 2, & 3 that's missing, can anybody please email it to me?

Run the label prorogam and set disk label to DISK 1 Thats DISK followed by six(6) spaces then 1 Do this to Disk 2 & 3 as well (As Disk 2 & 3)
Hope this helps.

WHAT A LOAD OF RUBBISH ms-dozz 5.5 DOES NOT HAVE A SETUP PROGRAM AT ALL!!!! you just copy files onto drive. Setup only came with 6 upwards. So fock off Doug and tell your stories somewhere else. Or are you Kikaida as well.

BAZ, Get back into your playpen.
MS-DOS 5.0 (not 5.5) does indeed have a install (setup) program.
