This file is used when you re-start in dos mode. If there are any drivers, etc. (ex; sound card parameters) that would be "required", this is the file to load them with. You can create it, even if it's an empty file. If you're getting an "error" because it's missing, create an empty file; c:\windows\dosstart.bat.

Make a copy of autoexec.bat and config.sys before installing. After installing you can copy the added commands for later use and put back the stored copies. Usually dos drivers are in a folder like win31/dos.
