| 1304938 | 2012-10-10 08:49:00 | Well I found a download site for MS DOS v6.22 which are 3 downloads being MS DOS v6.22 disk 1.rar, disk 2.rar and disk 3.rar. I have three formatted floppy disks, but how do I now move the files onto each disk. I'm sure the proceedure is documented somewhere but I cannot find it. Any help appreciated. |

They may be disk images, in which case you would need a program that can write images, like Winimage. There are several programs to open RAR files, WinRAR being the most popular. Winzip can open them now too I believe, also 7-Zip. |

| 1304940 | 2012-10-10 20:30:00 | My personal choice is 7zip for my unzipper. I find it does most archive types and at a fast speed. Also the main reason I got it was because downloading it was about 2 clicks where as winRAR I believe requires several and countless searching. But just my opinion :) | stratex5 (16685) | ||
| 1304941 | 2012-10-11 01:17:00 | As stated, you need to uncompress it first. If it's an EXE / COM file, cross your fingers and kiss your lucky rabbits foot before running it. There are some very old Trojan horses that do some nastiness when you run 'em. I suggest running it on a PC where you don't care about the files. If it's an ISO file, you'll need an ISO program capable of writing a floppy (they're not popular anymore) Try MagicIso. www.magiciso.com |

| 1304943 | 2012-10-11 21:43:00 | Notice I said "Trojan Horse", not a "virus". A trojan horse doesn't try to infect your PC; it just tries to do something unintended by the user like deleting all files. en.wikipedia.org |

Regardless, Trojan horses are bad and people do not normally want them. It is the job of Antivirus software to detect and remove such programs. Any decent antivirus program should be able to detect DOS-era malware, it's been around long enough, if they haven't got detections for it by now then the software is pathetic. |
