VM's have great positive factors, but they can also be royal pains in the backside. Not to mention that they can require a bit of knowhow to set up.
I tried to provide the "old school" way of doing things - simple and efficient, though not necessarily foolproof.

Hi CaptainHaplo, thanks for reply, and also to the guys above who are also trying to help.
Unfortunately, had to work Saturday and Today, hence delay in reply, Should have been off. I have DOS-on-USB version 71 but get the impression this is for Windows7, maybe wrong of course. This comes with Instructions on how to Install but can only get as far as:- Instruction 18. After a reboot, you will hopefully come to a DOS-style screen that will tell you that DOS-on-USB has loaded, However, all I get is a Black DOS looking Screen that says Nothing snd won't allow me to type anything in to it. Does anybody know Please if there is a DOS 5.0 or 6.2 Version of DOS-on-USB. I am trying to run an old game called Silent Hunter Commanders Edition that runs Perfectly well on my Computer, used to work on my Laptop, but now Does'nt, which is where I want it. Have tried copying ALL the Files across to my Laptop but without any success. Any more Help would be Gratefully appreciated. Many thanks Paul P.S Not looking to Format and reinstall Windows, unless absolutely neccessary, because everthing else on LAPTOP and COMPUTER are running fine and Don't want to lose it all. |

ok gotcha.
DosBox or similiar would be my first recommendation, but you already nixed those in your OP. Next best option is this: http://www.make-bootable-disks.com/u...drive-120.html its directions for making a Dos 6.22 bootable USB drive. You could even copy the game itself to the usb drive and have it available to play on just about any computer! Dos 6.22 is the last M$ version of "pure" Dos - version 7x and above were the underpinnings for W9x and above - seriously pared down, less functional. I would not use anything above 6.22 if your looking for real DOS.

Hello Again, more problems i'm afraid.
Have downloaded MS-DOS 6.22 ISO file but cannot work out how to open it. Also it tells me it needs UNetbootin-Bootable USB Drive and, although loads of info, cannot find Download link. Regards Paul |

Have downloaded your suggestion HP Drive Key v2.0.6 into a temporary file to have a look at but as usual with me, I Don't know what to do with it. it looks like a DOS file of some sort, but as with all suggestions so far there is no Readme file for Novices like me and although it looks like a File that could be copied and Pasted into another file and Overwritten not sure where File should go without Messing up my Computer. A Readme file with Instructions for this would have been be helpfull to an idiot like me. Regards Paul |
