    msdos.sys

    Locked

    by dtanner · about 21 years, 8 months ago

    I am trying to install win95b with a boot disk I downloaded from bootdisk.com for win95b. I have been able to download CD Rom drivers and am able to get a D:. Now when I try to run the fdisk command from A:, I get an “incorrect mydos version” response.

    What is my problem?

    THANKS for any help, David

      Incorrect MSDOS version

      Most likely, your problem is caused by fdisk.exe being from a different version of ‘dos’ to the one you are currently running. Obtaining fdisk.exe from the win95b CD, if thats the version of command.com on the diskette, should fix your problem.

        Have you heard of SETVER?

        Hi,

        Long time ago I saw someone use the SET VER (or SETVER?) command to make a command “regress” to the version of command.com – have a look at the DOS help files/commands and you might find something.
