Boot Configuration |
|
If your system BIOS is set to floppy as first boot device, you are all set.
However, if it is set to Hard disk ( C: ) then you need to set the boot order
to floppy drive ( A: ) first, and C: second.
There is an alternate way , which involves giving your MSDOS system a dual boot
option , by using the menu command.
If you have dos, you have a manual, and it is in there .
It's easy, and I use it .
