" Install this on a machine that DOES have an A: drive
then copy the directory where it installs onto removable media.
(Check CONFIG.SYS to see if the install made any changes there;
if applicable, make a copy of those changes as well.)[3]
Now copy the directory to the machine where you want to run the DOS app
and alter CONFIG.SYS if necessary. "
Well i don't completely understand what you said here but i tried to do something
like that.
The thing is; i have installed a program in windows 98 which works only if i run
it by restarting in DOS. Its not working even if i try opening a dos window from
start - programs. ( Maybe that explains why DOSBox wasn't able to run it in Win XP)
So once this program is started i need to install additional addons to it by importing
from the Floppy Drive. I have no idea where these files are being imported to or
i could have manually copied them there.
God where will i find a PC with a floppy drive now!! :(
