DOS allocates files using a File Allocation Table (FAT), which keeps track of which clusters on the disk are occupied and which are free. When a file is created, DOS finds free clusters, marks them as used in the FAT, and links them together to form a chain that represents the file's location on the disk. This method allows for efficient space management and retrieval of files, but can lead to fragmentation over time as files are created and deleted. The allocation process is primarily sequential, favoring contiguous space when possible.
