I have a quick question for someone.
i'm trying to rebuild an old studio computer with a new hard drive,
i first need to get hold of some Dos 6.22 installation disk on floppy.
i think i found some on, yes, you've gussed! Ebay, but the serial numbers are missing.

do i need the OEM serial number to install DOS on a new disk?

many thanks

Do not ever remember having a number to install.

Now if you have a friend that has a Win98 machine, they could generate:
• bootable floppy for you
• copy the DOS stuff onto floppies
• FDISK your new drive in FAT32.

Then you could sys your harddrive to a bootable system disk.

I don't remember if 6.22 supported FAT32 or just FAT16
