Providing MS-DOS

The Ghost Boot Wizard includes PC-DOS on boot disks. However, a boot disk that includes PC-DOS might not start all computers. When you create a boot disk, you can include MS-DOS instead of PC-DOS.

If you use MS-DOS, then you must provide MS-DOS files on the computer on which you are creating the boot disk. Using an MS-DOS system disk that was formatted on a Windows 95/98 computer, you can install the MS-DOS files during the creation of the boot disk.
