Dual-Booting MS-DOS 5.x or Later or PC-DOS 5.x or 6.x

Versions of MS-DOS earlier than 5.0 require that the first three sectors of the Io.sys file reside in the first three sectors of the data area of the hard disk. MS-DOS versions 5.0 and later do not have this requirement. It is this flexibility that allows you to dual-boot between Windows 98 and an earlier version of MS-DOS or PC-DOS.

When you install Windows 98 on a computer running MS-DOS version 5.0 or later, Setup preserves the Io.sys, Msdos.sys, Command.com, Autoexec.bat, and Config.sys files from your previous operating system by renaming them to Io.dos, Msdos.dos, Command.dos, Autoexec.dos, and Config.dos. If you choose to install Windows 95 in a new folder, Setup automatically adds the line "BootMulti=1" to the Msdos.sys file so that the computer can dual- boot Windows 98 and MS-DOS. If the Io.dos, Msdos.dos, or Command.dos file is removed from the computer, moved to a folder other than the root folder of the boot drive, or becomes damaged, you cannot boot your previous operating system.
