Hi,
Is the programme(?) included in MS-DOS 6.2 start-up disk or is it on separate disks? If it's on separate where would i get this from?
I have also obtained a copy of windows 95 (new) and want to install on new 10gb hdd after installing MS-DOS. How should i format & partition HDD?
Thanks

Re: Formatting & MS-DOS
If your starting from scratch on the hard drive, use the Windows install to do all the work for you. You didn't say
what format your Windows 95 is in. If it is on a CD, you will want to boot from the CD. Not all computers will do
this without getting into the Bios and changing it to have the CD drive as part of the boot sequence.
If you can get the CD to boot up, just follow the prompts for installing the Windows program. Make sure you have
the program key numbers. About half way through the process, it will ask for those numbers.
