Hi All:
I`m trying to do something I hope you can help with. For a little while now, I have been trying to figure a way to install MSDos7.1 on my computer. I have XP Home. I have two hard drives, one of which has a primary partition I can use for just this purpose. It is formatted FAT32. However, I am trying to learn Assembly from Peter Norton`s book and I`m thinking I will only be able to use FAT16? Anyway, how can I use my 98SE Upgrade disk to get the MSDos 7.10 files from there and what do I do when I get them? I found a googled page that mentioned creating your own 3 disc install set for Dos7.1 but it is over 5 years old and the links are dead. Can someone point me to a website that explains how to do this or is there a method one of you guys has used with success that you are willing to share?
Thanks for the replies.........Plain
