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.
