MS-DOS Bootable CD Images
April 14, 2006 at 12:44 pm
Below you’ll find several different bootable CD images in ISO format for MS-DOS.
To create the bootable CD you will need to download the ISO image below. You will then need to use a CD Burning application such as Nero or EZ-CD Creator to burn the ISO to a CD. Once finished you can simply insert the CD and reboot the computer.
- MS-DOS 6.22 (2.8 MB)
- MS-DOS 6.21 (2.3 MB)
- MS-DOS 6.0 (2.4 MB)
- MS-DOS 5.0 (2.2 MB)
- MS-DOS 4.01 (1.7 MB)
- MS-DOS 3.3 (1.6 MB)

Marcel said,
I downloaded the bootable cd image ms-dos 6.22 and ms-dos 5.0 and tried them. I thought tjat they were supposed to boot my pc in dos mode but it booted as usual from the hard disk. The boot sequence on the BIOS starts with CD-ROM first.
I don’t know what’s wrong, can you help me please?
Div said,
I burned the MS-DOS 6.22 image to disc and it boots up fine, but i cannot change the drive directory. If i type C: and hit return is says it is an invalid drive path. I have tried every leter in the alphabet but none work.
Why is this???

Rizak the Really Horrible said,
Thanks a bunch. One of the retirees (as of today) here has asked me to make a bootable DOS disk for him so he can start up his old 386 machine that got børked about a hundred years ago. This should work just fine.

Hi,
I’ve downloaded the DOS image in a CD and it worked perfectly, but I need to run another separate program now; is there a way to embeed the program I need into a new MSDOS image and generate a new bootable CD with the files I need included ? Please provide me information.

For anyboy who dont view your hard drive. It’s maybe because you run win 2k-xp or other system running on a ntfs partition or another partition type.
The dos view only the fat partition like fat16 fat32… I could find a program who can read ntfs file in dos… Search on google

Guy said,
Hi Friends
I guess most of you dont really get it.
Dos 6.22 Does not suppot Fat32 Nor NTFS
Dos 6.22 Does not support Long File Names (more than 8.3)
Dos 6.22 Does not support more than 2GB partition.
Dos 6.22 Does not support GUI (Graphical User Interface) as we know it
No Start Menu.
But…………
(going from facts to my opinion)
Dos 6.22 is the best OS microsoft has ever developed.
Dos 6.22 Is what made Microsoft what it is today.
And if it wasnt for MAC and Intel we would be all still working with it today.
DOS RULES !!!!!!!!!
Microsoft has recently announced the “CORE” version of It’s Latest OS, Windows server 2008, That shows how nice our life could have been without GUI (and ofcourse to fight Unix and stuff)
and a suggestion….
Wanna see what a stable OS looks Like ?
Install WFW 3.11 and NT 3.51 “Under Dos 6.22″
Do it All with Virtuals PC’s or Virtual Server
The Image works just fine and even has CDrom driver in it.
10x alot

Peter said,
I can see loads of questions about if it is possible to access another drive, but no answers. So is it possible?
pida said,
For Everybody having problems with visibility of their hard drive:
1. create a primary DOS partition (fdisk)
2. format your new partition (format c:)
3. reboot
After that you will see your drive, but don’t forget – all data will be lost!
Amar said,
I am gonna try it now. I haveburnt the exact image as I downloaded from net.
Sam S said,
Pardon my ignorance, but after downloading iso file, do you burn it with Nero as a “”Data Disc”, “Bootable Data Disc”, or “Disc Image”? I tried “Bootable Data Disc” & all it did was put file Dos6.22.iso on CD-R.
Thanks for the help.
Sam S said,
I forgot to mention that the CD will not boot.
NiteOwl said,
Ok, the facts are…
Dos 6.22 iso is perfect.
Perfect for what it is intended to do, folks.
I had no problems, downloading, burning, booting to it and partitioning my hard drive.
Dos has many uses. Some of which are partition your HD, Format HD,
Scandisk, Check your disk for errors. And many more.
You can run other Dos application.
If this is what you want. Dos can do it.
Yes, you can add files to the ISO. Open the iso with an iso editing program like Ultra ISO or Win ISO. Add your files and Save then burn.
You do not have access to your NTFS C:/ drive. You do have access to A: and R:
If you want access to the NTFS, then get a winXP boot disk or use a dos based NTFS reader. google “dos based NTFS reader” Many will show up like Active@ Boot Disk or Avira NTFS4DOS. You can add Avira NTFS4DOS to the Dos 6.22 ISO.
Dos 6.22 will do most of you just fine. For those that want a GUI , I recommend Dos 5.0 it is better for C++ and Pascal.
I think i covered it all except….
You dont need to load the ISO into any burning software. Just double click it.
If you have software that can burn or edit/burn it, if should load it.

Elwood said,
Thanks! This is exactly what I was looking for! Needed to run a program from a boot disk on a laptop that does not have a floppy drive. Win ISO to copy the file to the image, worked perfectly! Took me a while to realize my file was on drive R:, though.
To reiterate what others have said: You can’t see your C: drive because it is likely formatted to NTFS. Don’t bash the image because you don’t understand OS’s.
Kev said,
!!!!!IMPORTANT INFO REGARDING OTHER DRIVES!!!!!!!
Please note the the creator stated that these are DOS Boot Disc’s, the creator did not state they would be fully functioning Operating Systems.
There are plenty of applications you can download to recognise NTFS format HDD’s.
There are plenty of applications you can download to recognise USB keyboards, mice on non-usb compliant Motherboards.
These DOS Boot-Up disc’s perform exactly as you would expect, additional functionality beyond the capabilty of Bootable DOS is third party.
Paul said,
I used to have a bootable Win95-DOS CD. I lost it and now I am searching for it again. I used to use that instead of MS-DOS, since the Win95-DOS supports larger drives.
Does anyone know where I can find one?
Thanks, Paul
help said,
you can’t see drive c: because it is ntfs. guess if you don’t know that you shouldn’t be using boot disks…
Shawn said,
Works great.
Installed in VMWare Workstation 6 no prblem.
I spent several hours trying to find one that actually worked.
This should be number one on Google’s search results.
Would’ve saved me a lot of time anyway.

Thanks very much mate. Used it to flash my motherboard as I couldn’t get the floppy drive to boot.
Procedure worked fine by putting the bios utility & data file on a separate CD & using them from the R: drive (i.e, swap the boot CD for the 2nd CD and run the flash utility from R:).

Philip said,
Thanks for the Iso image work great.
However I am trying to find a method to save small files somewhere, I’ve got a SD card and usb reader but I obviously need usb drivers. Does any one know if they exist for dos and how to use them?
Thanks again for the image and and help you can give

I’ve downloaded MS-DOS 622, burnt it on a CD, and it boots up fine. But I can’t change the drive.
Drives A: and R: works well. I also have a 1.5GB FAT16 partition, named F:. But when I type F:, it says it’s an invalid drive.
Why?

You can buy ms-dos boot cds off of ebay. I got mine there for $3.00(Us). That was with shipping. I got the 6.22 version but i sent him a message and he said he can sell 7.10, 3.x and higher

Dunga Bunga said,
The sequence is:
1. Download Alcohol 120% to read ISO and to burn to direct CD.
2. Run Fdisk.exe to dicover your HDD’s and Partitions by selecting option 4 before choosing option 1 or 2.
3. Run Format.exe /S /U to create a new FAT partion (Remember that your NTFS data will be lost)

My friend, you are a sodding hero!
I wished for something like this through most of the 90’s (and would have killed for possesion).
I had to flash the BIOS on an older machine to cope with > 137GB HDDs, but it would only flash from DOS – boot from this, flash it, and bingo.
Thanks, and thanks again!

Can you boot with the 6.22 image then read a Flash Drive formatted FAT. I am trying to update the BIOS without a Floppy.
bill said,
Worked great. I attched the ISO image and booted parallels on my mac. Created a C: drive and installed win98SE for some old games and software.
Perfect.
POPs said,
Guys here is the way it is.
In order to boot to the dos C: prompt you have to have
DOS installed on the CD and an autoexec.bat and config.sys files.
The autoexec tells the computer how you want it to boot.
I have not downloaded any of these versions yet but will try
the DOS v5.0 and see if it will do what I need. I’m looking for
the DOS program and not a a boot able CD so I can make a
boot able CD with an autoexec.bat and config.sys. Today’s computers
has no DOS we can work with. DOS is where I started even before hard drives and the internet. People want post just a version of DOS cause its
owned by Microsoft . Any puter will make a boot able CD these days
but it will work on that computer..
POPs

Thank you SOOO much! You’re a life saver!! (Or at least a HUGE time saver!)
Adam said,
The reason you guys and gals can’t see you hdd is cause its in NTFS Format.
(windows 2k, xp and vista)
MS DOS can’t see NTFS formated partitions.
Only FAT32 and FAT16.

I just bought a Mac and I’m trying to “clean” the hard drive and reinstall Windows xp before giving this to my parents. Of course, the “help” says make a bootable floppy disk but who the hell has one of those anymore? This is PRECISELY why I’m dumping this Microsoft CRAP and going to a Mac. Good riddance!!

THIS POST TELLS ALL!

OMG… DOS ONLY reads FAT filesystems. YES, this iso will have to burned ‘bootable’. NO, this isn’t what you need to recover files, or work in your HDD, or flash a bios, etc… You CAN do these things with these discs, IF you are smarter than what you are working with. MOST people will not have the knowledge needed to utilize these os’s.
As far as the last commenter here… Just boot to the winXp disc, pretend like you are going to install it, and install it. Make sure you choose the option to format the drive after you select the HD you want XP on. In fact one of the tools most often used in place of fdisk is the WinXp setup utility. You can manipulate partitions, delete partitions, and format drives from right there. If you just want to format, select the drive, tell it to format, and when it’s done, just hit the reset button. No need to finish the install.
If you have made it here trying to manipulate the files you currently have on your HDD, you have made it to the wrong place. If you are currently using a version of windows 95 or later, in general, DOS is not compatible. This software WILL run on any IBM computer, but it may not do what you need it to do. If you are looking for a windows boot disk, you can format a floppy, or usb drive as a ‘CURRENT OS’ boot disk.
For problems fixing windows problems, search google for ‘Bart’s PE Builder’. Follow his directions there, and in minutes you should have a ‘Live WinXP disc’. Meaning, you can boot straight to a ‘live’ gui version of xp from the cd you create. From there you CAN manipulate windows NTFS disks, or whatever you would have been able to do in windows without having to boot to YOUR windows located on your HD. This IS what most of the traffic here is looking for…. a back-door to your HD copy of windows. (your files)
IF you are trying to flash a bios, vid card, etc. These OSs should do the trick. You must remember however, that you WILL NOT be able to access your HDDs. (or really any other drive save the floppy) YOU MUST BURN THE FLASH UTILITY *AND* THE NEW/BACKUP BIOS TO THE CD DISC BEFORE YOU USE IT. THESE OSs MUST HAVE A CD DRIVE CONTROLLER LOADED. Meaning you must load mscdex or equivalent to be able to see your cd drive after the boot up. MagicIso will allow you to add/manipulate the files in the iso before you burn it. When you get to the command prompt after booting to the dos boot disk here(slightly modified), you will be able to load the flash utility off the cd drive, and flash your *insert flashable here*.
Bottom line, this is ancient software. Great software! …but old. Unless you have a REALLY good reason to use these, don’t. Stick to what you have. There are better solutions out there to help with your problems. This software is really at the ‘unsupported’ level. Only those who KNOW what they are doing will be able to do anything with this.
SO… if you are an old 286-head, and want to play tie fighter again off the old floppies you have, AND you remember how to properly set up the dosshell environment, THEN you have made it to the right place. Alot of the hardware these days isn’t even compatible with dos. Just be glad it’s fast enough to handle Dos without proper drivers and such.
As far as games go, you can just download ‘DosBox’. This will allow you to ‘mount’ drives to be read in the program. You can install, and run DOS programs off their original discs, and straight off the HDD like they were made to be. It’s simply a DOS emulator. Your sound card will have to be soundblaster compatible tho!
BTW, Microsoft doesn’t suck. The people who don’t know how to use it suck!

To everyone -as above if your system runs the ntfs file system booting with dos disks will not read it. You will need a reader program like NTFS for DOS to access all other drives

Hi, I tried installing the boot cd iso image for msdos 6.00. it works. but I need to change the config.sys as I need to load up a driver during msdos6.00 startup. after I change the config.sys and save the new iso image into cd, the cd’s config.sys is showing the amended config.sys. but funny thing is that when booting up using that cd, a:’s config.sys does not contain the line to load up my device driver, but the r:’s config.sys contains the line to load up my device driver. conclusion is my device driver is thus not loaded during startup and thus I cannot run some programs in msdos6.00 mode.
can anybody help me on this? how to ensure that config.sys can load up my device driver?
thank you in advance.

You guys rock. The Dos 6.22 image, like all your stuff, works perfectly for what it is intended to. For all those wanted to look at your 250gig HD, know this. Back in the days of DOS, a 40MB, yes that is correct, MB would run around $200-300 dollars. And HD’s themselves in the early DOS day were a luxury reserved for businesses.
Some of the comments made by the less than old school tech savy here really do epitomize the new version of the generation gap, CLI vs GUI.
Craig Medland said,
This is sooooooooo funny to watch
If these don’t make sense to you: -

I have been searching all over for information but everything just explains how to create(really copy a boot floppy/cd to make) an img or iso. I can’t just copy it I need to create one with extra files attached. If you could email me that would be great.

Hello
I have tried the DOS 6.22 boot cd and it works. However, I would like to run a program straight from boot up. I changed the config.sys and Autoexec.bat files but this does not work. The cd still boots and end at the A: prompt. I have to change it manually to the R: prompt and then type in the exe of the program. The new config.sys and autoexec.bat along with the program that I have added are not visible in the A: prompt where the installation ends. You can only see them in the R: prompt. How do I get the boot cd to automatically load the program on the R: prompt. Your help will be much appreciated.
Thanks a million

Wayne said,
Hi , It’s Wayne again
There are a lot of programs out there that emulate arcade games. MAME is the largest and I am sure that you are aware of it. Some clever guys managed to put an operating system (knoppix ,DSL Linux) on a live cd along with these emulators. The advantage of this is that you can use a P$ for all the latest games at full speed with sound support and no hassels. The reason for my previous question is that I would like to put DOS on a CD and add mame and run it as a read only on an old P3. This would be great because there is no shut down, you just turn the PC off at the wall. My P3 is inside an arcade cabinet that I buily. Is this possible with DOS. I need to know how to boot all the way into MAME but the boot cd will only stop at the A: prompt. MAME and the new autoexec.bat and config.sys files are at the R: prompt. Please help if you can.
Thanks

[...] Para poder instalar MsDos lo mas comodo es poder hacerlo a traves de una imagen ISO que sea bootable que podeis bajar de aqui [...]

I used this DOS image and added a couple DOS files to the ISO and then saved it. When I look at the CD in Windows Explorer, I can see the 2 files I added. When I boot into DOS, the 2 files I added are nowhere to be found. I heard another use say that I need to change to the R volulme to see the files I added. Is this correct?
BTW, thank you for a great 6.22 image!

Working perfectly
But there are probably some guys that don’t know how to use DOS so that’s the reason why are they complaining
Great job, and tnx once again
Bob said,
DSC, how about answering some questions instead of just bashing ppl for not knowing DOS.
I myself was brought up with DOS, but am having the same issue as CW. I have added one exe file to the ISO and burnt the image. I can see it on the CD from two other Windows computers.
When I boot the CD it loads but there is no sign of the extra file. I even went as far as to mod the autoexec.bat file to not load a RAM drive. No dice, when booting the old version (orig) is used.
WTF? I checked from Windows and all the files have changed and the new file is there. I even deleted EBC.CAB (ram tools) from the ISO, burnt again, and it still loads! Its not even there anymore!!! Argh.

Nero 7 has a DOS image that is compatible wit Fat32.
1.Take Nero burning Rom
2.Select CD-Rom(Boot) from the left menu
3.In the boot tab select the image C:\Program Files\Nero\Nero 7\Core\DosBootimage.IMA
4.Click on New
5.Burn
Voila! You have a new bootable disk that will allow you to see your drive

Thanks for the isos. I just wanted to run a program from a cd, I want to use that program to measure time with as much precision as possible therefore I don’t want to use windows for that and of course I wanted an easy and quick solution so this should do it

kindly help me. I want boot my pc through cd . i DON’T have floppy drive. how i can boot through cd
Gonzalo said,
The file is for CD. Just burn it to a CD through the image copy option. To run a program in A maybe it is posible to replace (and rename) one of the already available programs?

muy idiota esta pajina

Forget my last commentary!
To execute any DOS-program just add it to the ISO file (with ISO Master for instance, in Linux, Apple or Windows) and burn the modified copy to a CD. Then boot it on your machine, change to the R: drive and execute by name your program. VERY simple, Ive just done it!
Cmat said,

XP said,
thanks genius!
how did you make this image? tell us
Mike said,
People!
DOS CAN’T read/access NTFS partitions which is (nearly) ALL partitions since Windows 2000 Pro/XP Pro. If you need to access NTFS partitions from DOS you need a utility like NTFS Reader (http://www.ntfs.com/products.htm) added to the boot CD.
Also, for those ppl having problems creating the CD, make sure you choose the option BURN IMAGE in your CD/DVD burning software DO NOT create a DATA disk, otherwise all you’re doing is burning the *.iso file to disk and that WON’T BOOT!

Hey All,
I am booting fine from the CD, however when It comes back I cannot access the CDROM. Drive R: is not available. I’m assuming it has something to do with the “Banana” part but would appreciate any help on how to fix it.
Thank you!

Need pc dos 3.3 for IBM base, anyone?
RZO said,
If your looking to access NTFS hard drives try the following site http://www.hiren.info/pages/bootablecd it will allow you to read and write to NTFS drives and you can also add your own DOS based programs like Anti-virus.

Hello,
Ive run into problems here, I have ms dos 6.22 boot cd working, got a 530mb FAT16 partition setup, but when I boot from the cd, I can still only see A: and R:.
