Are you asking for instructions on using unix or downloading dos? DOS is copyrighted and it would be illeagal to download, to tell the truth. There are plenty of good sites about UNIX-based operating systems out there. You can download just about any version at of linux at linuxiso.com and find pleanty of help at linuxnewbie.org . Be specific about what your goal is and I will offer some more advice, if you would like.

Sorry, I misunderstood you. I would make a windoze 98 or whatever bood disk with command to start up the linux box, then use that interface to format the hd and then install dos. The disk 1 of the DOS install might be prepared to do this anyway, but I am not sure.

you cannot install windows ON unix. You still need to format the drive to FAT. make a boot disk from a fat (dos or windows) computer and boot from that to format the drive and use fdisk to do the partitions
