Retro comp with Free Dos and Win2000 cool thing!

During several months, I try to install Windows 2000 and Free Dos. One feature to take into account, that computer was old and cannot load from flash. But, it can see flash with small size in OS. For example, with Windows 2000. Files sometimes, copying wrong with big size. But, with small size like 2gb. Everything works good. Computer is old. This is one core 1.5ghz.

So, with compact disc all the installation. It takes time. And. Later. one more feature. I have installed windows 2000. Later. create partition for MS DOS format. All the hard drive is about 40gb. 32 I set for Windows and 8 gb for Free Dos.

So after, I insert install disk with Free Dos. You can download it from authors website. And, if I am right, it was updated recently. And, I make install from disk. Installation is simple and easy to understand. Beautiful MS DOS theme. They good for the eyes if you like MS DOS.

And, something interesting. How it was with me. Disc D – this is MS DOS format partition. And disc C Windows 2000 partition. And, what make Free Dos compact disc? It exchanges with places! How clever it is! I was surprised. It was funny! He finds this by himself – this MS DOS partition. And set it with letter C. And I have read that Free Dos can only be written with disc C, and what place to be booted from. And all like this is works. But he makes it by himself! So, this is Free Dos now!

And, I again, do install with Windows 2000 at the windows 2000 partition. So, it was broken there. Well, to install windows 2000 – it is easy thing. I think that for those OS users. As Windows 95,98,2000, they do it often. So, set it to second partition. Disc D. Which is, already, we format with once again to Windows 2000. And that’s all! We have two operating systems!

This is funny. For those, who likes to dig with system. So, I want to learn it a little. So that’s why, I have installed these systems. First step is done. But, it was lots of problems on my way.  But, now I have a nostalgic themes. Free Dos it is modern version for MS DOS. Windows 2000 – beautiful visual OS. For retro users. So, it is cool to have all windows versions installed. And even to try exotic like OS/2, OSR2. Windows Memphis. Main - it is to have all these with usage! So now, I have retro comp with Free Dos and Windows 200! Cool thing!

Reviving Old Computers: My Journey with Linux Mint and Other Distros

If you’re like me, you hate the idea of throwing away perfectly good electronics just because they’re a bit outdated.
