http://www.freewebs.com/winvision to download MSDOS and Win3.1, but as stressed on other posts these products are covered by a License, they are not freeware. To undertake the installation of software has been covered in other postings here and in the DOS forum.

If you get the "missing operating system" it would mean the file command com can not be found. Before going any further would advise to download a boot disk and run Scan Disk all the options they offer in case you have any bad sectors etc.
