The DOS that comes with Windows 98 is FAT32 compatible. Instructions for "extracting" it: 1)Run a "DOS Window" in Windows 98. 2)Put a blank, formatted diskette in drive A. 3)SYS the diskette: C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\>sys a: 4)Copy the utilities from \WINDOWS\COMMAND. These are the DOS tools. If you cant copy them all, make sure you'll have etleast the following files: CHOICE.COM DELTREE.EXE DOSKEY.EXE EDIT.EXE EDIT.HLP FDISK.EXE FORMAT.COM MEM.EXE MODE.COM MORE.COM MOVE.EXE SYS.COM XCOPY.EXE The MOST important file right now is SYS.COM! Make sure you have it. The rest are just basic and necessary DOS utilities. 5)Go to the computer on which you want to install the files. If you do not have another operation system allready on it, boot from the diskette and SYS drive C: A:\>sys c: This will copy the system files to drive C and make MS-DOS 7.2 the primary OS of that system. Copy everything on the diskette to C:\DOS , and you're finished! HOWEVER!! If you allready have an operation system on that computer.. you can just boot from the diskette, and use it as a bootdisk. This DOS will support FAT32 no matter where it is booted from. Enjoy. :) To unsubscribe from SURVPC send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe SURVPC in the body of the message.
