Hi Everybodyˇ I need to know how to put ms-dos in a cd-rom,in order to install it,bypassing the calls to disk2,disk3,if you know what I mean.If posssible please tell me how,thanxˇ
You put the entire contents of all the disk's onto the cd including the disk lables 2,3 etc. don't put them in a folder of any kind or it will then ask for next disk. You can do the same thing with windows 3.x Just put every disk onto a cd without folders and be sure to show hidden files. I also put all the upgrades for windows 3.x in folders on the same cd so I can just continue till i'm done. You can take all your microsoft works program or multi disk games, and other programs and put the entire disks in individual folders just DON'T break down each disk into folders and remember to show all hidden files!

If youve got some way to test your CD whether dos installs off of it (some other box that needs dos etc.) I strongly urge you do so- i seem to recall dos not wanting to install from anything other than the A: drive- this might only apply to older dos's but im not sure, so you might want to check (you wouldnt want any bad surprises when you really needed to install it..)
