Where can I down load a full version of MS-DOS that works??? I really need one, someone deleted it off my computer.
Here is a quick 50 points. What is the maximum file size limit for fat16 and fat32? I have tried to copy a 4gb file to a fat32 drive but it pukes. I suspect it is a file size limit.
Thanks.
