An MS-DOS startup disk is a floppy disk that contains the MS-DOS operating system files necessary to boot a computer. It allows users to start their systems in a DOS environment, enabling them to run commands, access files, and troubleshoot issues when the primary operating system fails to load. The disk typically includes essential utilities and tools for system maintenance and recovery.
The DOS command (Disk Operating System command) is a command-line interface used to interact with the operating system. It allows users to perform various tasks such as file management (copying, moving, deleting files), system configuration, and executing programs. DOS commands are essential for automating processes and managing system resources without a graphical user interface. Common commands include DIR (to list directory contents), COPY (to copy files), and DEL (to delete files).
MS-DOS = MicroSoft Disk Operating System & IO.SYS, MSDOS.SYS, & COMMAND .COM
To copy files to RAM in MS-DOS, you have to use the COPY function after converting the file to a system file with the *.sys extension.
Dos files are the files with the extension .bat which are used for programming in DOS. This is also called as batch file programming.
DOS is just the operating system just like Windows XP. DOS SHELL is a program in DOS in which you can browse files and open them, etc. Just generally an easier way to move around the DOS operating system

You have couple choices. The first one is to connect the hard with your files to another desktop and delete it from there. The second choice is to use a dos utility with allows to write/delete in ntfs system, if you don't have ntfs you can use any dos file manager (for instance, Volkov Commander which is free). In the last case you will have to boot ms-dos which is not hard at all.
From the DOS prompt, you can copy most files only to a floppy as the system won't recognize any other devices (e.g. cd-rw).
DOS uses IO.sys , MSDOS.sys, config.sys & autoexec.bat files to configure the system. Sandeep Chadha Cell:9560311765, Delhi,India Email:scitrs@hotmail.com
DOS stands for Disk Operating System. To be useful computers have to have an operating system. The early IBM PC computers used the MS-DOS operating system. A DOS command is an instruction to the DOS operating system. It must be in a specific form. For example, the command DIR told the DOS operating system to list all files. These commands were typed at a place called the DOS command line. There a many such commands.
