The coexistence of DOS and Windows 98

The author's school belongs to the comprehensive high school (both ordinary high school and vocational high school). With the warming up of the vocational high school entrance examination in recent years, the more students attending the computer counterparts in our school The more you come. The computer-to-speaking professional courses in our province are FOXBASE, BASIC, FOXPRO 2.5 FOR DOS, Windows 98, Word 2000, Excel 2000 and computer network basics. Because the first three exams are required in a pure DOS environment, pure DOS often appears. The computer room is full and the Windows 98 computer room is idle (our school has a pure DOS computer room and three Windows 98 microcomputer classrooms). In order to solve this problem, the author installs the above three pure DOS software into the machine of the Windows 98 microcomputer room. However, every time the student goes to the machine, he has to press F8 to enter the DOS environment, which is very troublesome. Can dual system coexistence (ie DOS and Windows 98 coexist), and take into account the operational requirements of vocational high school students and ordinary high school information technology courses? I have solved this problem through the following methods. The specific operations are as follows: 1. The hard disk must use the FAT 16 format partition, because the previous MSDOS version of Windows 95 does not recognize the FAT32 partition. When installing dual systems, first partition the system into FAT 16 format using the FDISK command. 2. Install Windows 98 first. After Windows 98 is installed, start with the system floppy disk and execute SYS C under DOS: 3. Change the three system files IO.SYS, MSDOS.SYS and COMMAND.COM of MSDOS to IO. .DOS, MSDOS.DOS, and COMMAND.DOS, and copy the three files into the root directory of the C drive. 4. Execute the ATTRIB -H -R -S C:/MSDOS.SYS command under DOS to remove the implicit, read-only, and system file attributes of the Windows 98 system file MSDOS.SYS. 5. Execute the EDIT MSDOS.SYS command, change the value of "Bootmulti" in the MSDOS.SYS file to 1, and save the file. 6. Execute ATTRIB +H +R +S C:/MSDOS.SYS to restore the MSDOS.SYS file properties. 7. The Windows 98 and MSDOS system boot selection menu will appear when you reboot again. Finally, install the appropriate software according to actual needs, and finally install the hard disk protection card and create a system image file.
