I tried the DOS 6.22 boot disk, typed in C:\WIN , said invalid drive. Already been told DOS 6.22 Does not read FAT32 HDD. Should I make a different partition? (ie. FAT16 or what?)

Why don't you give access to your email address and that way you could get some real help.

Why cant people just help me here.. all ya have to do is type.

Hi ITĄ win3.xx does not perform in a FAT32 partition.because it needs DOS in order of running properly. You have first delete your present partition with FDISk,then restart your pc,run FDISK again,and if your HDD itīs bigger than 2GB,you must answer the question about activate the longer drive compatibility with a NO. Then format yuor drive,restart again and run FDISK one more time,select the option 4,and if FDISK tells you that your partition itīs FAT,(not FAT32),then proceed to install MS-DOS,and then Win 3.xx A lotta typing,isnīt e?

You can infact run Windows 3.1 on FAT32. However, you need a version of DOS which supports FAT32. I'm currently running Windows 3.1 and 3.11 here using DOS 7 from Windows 98. Windows 3.1 works perfectly on a FAT32 parition. About the only thing it doesn't do is support long file names..

i need a boot disk for windows 3.1

Hello, I successfully installed windows 3.11 on an old computer for a friend, but I used a Windows 98 startup disk to get to a command prompt. Well, when I had finished installing.....at the c: command prompt I typed in cd windows and then win to access windows, but it says i need the windows 3.11 startup disk because my version of Dos is not compatible. Does anyone know where to get this startup disk? And dont say bootdisk.com because i've ravaged their site and to no avail..If anyone has it please Email it to me and ill be ever grateful. Also, the hard disk is only 540 megabytes :) THANK YOU!!
