If you are running any version of Windows from 98 on, then your computer does not have MS-DOS. It only has a command line interface that emulates DOS.

The reply you got in your previous post was referring to "OS" (not OA) which stands for Operating System, such as Windows XP, or Linux - the basic underlying system that was installed on your computer.  "AV" referred to AntiVirus - programs such as Norton AntiVirus, McAfee AV, AVG, etc.

On Windows Server Systems, the domain controller (DC) is the server that responds to security authentication requests (logging in, checking permissions, etc.) within the Windows Server domain.\n\nIn Windows NT, the central domain controller was known as the Primary Domain Controller (PDC), of which there could only be one with this role; all other domain controllers were identified as Backup Domain Controllers (BDC). In Windows 2000 and later, all domain controllers are theoretically equal, and therefore identified simply as Domain Controllers (DC). In practice however, this may not always be the case. In NT, a BDC can authenticate the users in a Domain.

I haven't played a DOS game since the first Doom but would it not be easier to install Windows98 and use the dos from there? Seems like hardware config in DOS would be nearly impossible.

If your on Windows 95 or 98, nope its part of your PC. But when Windows Me, 2000 and XP came out MSDOS was scratched but still there. So you really cant get away from MSDOS. Infact if you look at Linux OS, you see its DOS core alot better than that of a Windows OS. Windows XP still has it DOS roots. Windows just makes it pretty for the users to look at. Linux is a bit more indepth.\n/ \n  /root\n  /dev\n  /usr\n  /etc\n  /home\n  /lib\n  /var\nand so on.

MS-DOS has always been backward compatible. This means that a DOS based program written to run with say MS-DOS 5.0, will run with MS-DOS 7.0 . I have only found one exception to this and that was when I tried to perform an MS-DOS 5.0  "Restore" function from a MS-DOS 3 "Backup" disk.\n\nYou may be able to add another DOS version if you partition your hard drive then add a different OS there, like a straight MS-DOS
