the deleted file if ms dos can be recovered if you use the command mention below immediately,the command is : need External Dos commands and internal dos commands with their meaning
A listing of DOS commands are available if you type help at the command prompt. DOS commands do vary from version to version.
All DOS commands have already been developed.. You need not to develop any more..
In MS-DOS, the file that contains internal commands loaded during the booting process is COMMAND.COM. This file serves as the command line interpreter and contains the basic commands necessary for operating the system. When MS-DOS starts, COMMAND.COM is loaded into memory, allowing users to execute commands and run programs.
"fdisk" command is used for partitioning in DOS.
A complete list of MS-DOS commands can be found here: http://www.computerhope.com/msdos.htm#02
Go to your DOS window and type help, then hit enter. It will list the commands for you with a description of what they do.
There is none. For starters, you have it backwards, DOS actually copied most of its commands from Unix (The rest came from CP/M.), which Linux is inspired by. Commands like "cd" and "dir" were Unix commands long before DOS even existed.
External Commands
You can execute it directly..
DOS and DOS-like commands are still usable in modern versions of Windows, and can sometime be the only way to accomplish a given task.
DOS is an operating system. The DOS prompt is the command line where DOS commands can be run/executed.
