I have in my possession MS-DOS v6.22 on 3.5" floppies, and I want to install said OS on my '84 IBM AT. Problem: my IBM at this time only takes 5.25" floppy disks, and at the same time, all I have in my possession is the double-density (360KB) kinds of 5.25" disks.
While it is obvious that I can copy files from the 3.5" to the 5.25" disks, what files from the first 3.5" disk would I need to copy onto the 5.25" disk to make it bootable/executable for the installation of MS-DOS to proceed? If this can be done, and I put all the other installation files on other 5.25" floppies, will the DOS installation go smoothly - instead of having 20 files on one disk for example, having the same 20 spread over 3 different disks?
Does anyone have MS-DOS (any version) on 360KB disks that they could zip and send me? LOL
Kidding, but any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
