Recently purchased copy of Windows 98 Upgrade for new computer with nothing on harddrive. Also purchase an old version of Windows 3.1 to install prior to 98 upgrade. I have learned that I need to install MS-DOS before I can install Win3.1 so.
I copied all the files from a version of MS Dos 6.22 from my old computer to the new hard drive. I also created a sys disk with I0, MSDOS.sys and command file to diskette. The problem is MS-DOS doesn't work for all functions but does work for files like DEFRAG, CHKDSK, MEMMAKER, etc.,
Nevertheless, I loaded the Windows 3.1 version but when I try to start it, it gives an error message of Incompatible version of MS-DOS, Please load version of DOS that is compatible with Windows 3.1.
I am told that Windows 3.1 needs at least MS-DOS 6.0 to operate and I think that the MSDOS v 6.22 is not working completely only parts of it. Please help sort this out.
