I have another problem with the downloaded images.Till today my IBM 300PL 6562-340 told me 'No system disk' on start. Then I'v started with another version of 6.22, change the disk to the downloaded one, and format a new diskette with the /S option. Then I'v copied the entire disk to the new one. That disk is now starting the PC, MS DOS, and even the setup dialog for DOS 6.22 by itself, but after the message 'Insert #1 Disk' and 'enter' the message appears again, and again,.. The setup disk 1 is in the drive!!!
I'v tryied to rename the disk several times, without any changes.. Can somebody help? (sorry about my english..)

Well mainly because I figured that MS-DOS would be fairly easy to locate (I thought I even had the disks around here somewhere). Bs player for windows 7 32 bit. But also because I'd already decided that I'm not very interested in having to become familiar with the various nuances of what will amount to another OS (FreeDOS with all of its extensions/enhancements is not DOS, anymore than Linux is UNIX).
I have to say, few months ago, there was a running Windows XP, 32Bit on that machine. By an accident, probably of static electricity while switching an KVM switch between the second computer, the disk was gone. I'v tryied several rescue actions, without any result. While this OS was many years running, I only remember, I'v used an Ontrack Boot Manager to use the entire 120GB disk. After the damage, I'v tryied to delete, create and formate the volume several times, but the try to install Win 98SE ended usually with the message 'there is an 64kBit partition on the volume.. can't continue..' I'v deleted ALL partitions several times, create new ones, 12Bit, 16Bit, 32Bit, NTFS,.. Then i'v remembered, the Ontrack software use the boottrack for install... Then I'v errased the whole disk with a new purchased software. It tooks 7 days to do that.
Now I'v downloaded the EZ Disk Manager, wich install itself also on track 0..!! So what. I just hope to get my XP on that drive again, and then Win3.1, 3.11, 95, and 98SE in the VirtualBox...

And for that, I need a running DOS..!!!
