how to format pc in dr dos?  

well, To format FAT12/16/32 drives, you can use the new DR FORMAT command v1.0 (source or binary).

This is based on FreeDOS FORMAT v0.91u with added support for 128K cluster size and some other enhancements; use the new option /C:clsize to override the default cluster size.

To copy large files (>2 GB) with XCOPY, you need the new DR XCOPY 1.4 which is based on FreeDOS XCOPY 1.4 (source or binary).

It supports copying FAT+ files and cloning original directory timestamps.

For v7.01.06 and later, you will also need an update for the DR-DOS TaskManager.

Below you will find the TaskManager binaries of DR-DOS 7.01, 7.02 and 7.03 which have been modified to work with Enhanced DR-DOS. Choose the right one for your DR-DOS distribution and license.

Also, if you do not already have it, you might need to download the version of the Share command that comes with DR-DOS 7.01 to make TaskManager work.

If you want to use Enhanced DR-DOS on boot disks where space is scarce, you might find the new packer for DRBIO/DRDOS.SYS useful.

hi ankit While this method will work with Windows 95, you should use Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel. For more information, see the Knowledge Base document In Windows 95, 98, or Me, how do I make a startup (system recovery) disk?

If you run Windows 3.1, exit Windows. If you run Windows 95, go to an MS-DOS prompt.

To create a bootable diskette, insert a disk in the floppy drive, and, at the C:\> prompt, enter:

format a: /s
Replace a: with b: if your floppy drive is the B: drive.

To use a floppy disk that is already formatted and contains data, at the C:\> prompt, enter:

sys a:
Replace a: with b: if your floppy drive is the B: drive.

This will not erase any data on the floppy disk. The sys command creates a bootable floppy disk by copying the msdos.sys, io.sys, and command.com files to the floppy disk.

To create a diskette you can use to boot the computer in case of an emergency, copy the following files onto the floppy from c:\dos (or c:\windows\command in the case of Windows 95):

format.exe
sys.com
fdisk.exe
himem.sys
emm386.exe
edit.com (MS-DOS 6.x) or
edit.exe (Windows 95)
bootdisk.com
If you have a version of DOS earlier than 6.0, you should also obtain a small text editor and put it on the diskette. Several such editors are available from:

http://www.winsite.com/
On this emergency diskette, create files called autoexec.bat and config.sys with the following contents:

autoexec.bat:
echo off
prompt $p$g
config.sys:
device=himem.sys
device=emm386.exe /noems
dos=high
You should make the emergency disk on the same computer it may be used on. This will avoid any problems caused by booting the computer with a version of DOS different from the version on the hard drive. In addition, you should scan for viruses before creating the diskette.
