Installing MS-DOS

After you connect the components of your system and run the Setup program, you must install MS-DOS. Follow the instructions in your MS-DOS Installation Guide.

The MS-DOS installation process automatically copies the MS-DOS files onto your hard disk or generates working copies of the original MS-DOS diskettes. It is best to make another set of backup copies of your original MS-DOS diskettes. You may also want to copy the working diskettes MS-DOS generates if you do not have a hard disk.
