This article will explain in detail what kind of operating system ms-dos refers to. The editor thinks it is very practical, so I share it with you as a reference. I hope you can get something after reading this article.

Ms-dos is a disk operating system provided by Microsoft in the United States. Disk operating system is the most basic equipment in IBM PC and compatible computers, and [MS-DOS] is one of the most commonly used disk operating systems in personal computers.

MS-DOS (Microsoft disk operating system) is a disk operating system provided by Microsoft in the United States. Before Microsoft launched Windows1.0, Windows3.0 and Windows 95 on August 24th, 1995, disk operating system was the most basic equipment in IBM PC and compatible computers, while MS-DOS was one of the most commonly used disk operating systems in personal computers.

The most basic MS-DOS system consists of a BOOT boot program and three file modules based on the master boot record (the hard disk has the master boot record and the floppy disk does not have the master boot record). The boot sector is located in the sector of track 0, and the content is slightly different from the MBR of the hard disk. The three modules are input and output module (IO.SYS), file management module (MSDOS.SYS) and command interpretation module. (however, in MS-DOS 7.0, MSDOS.SYS was changed to startup configuration file, while IO.SYS added the function of MSDOS.SYS.) in addition, Microsoft has added a number of standard external programs (external commands) to the retail MS-DOS system package, which, together with internal commands, has built a relatively complete human-computer interaction environment in the era of disk operation. For various commands on MS-DOS, see the list of MS-DOS commands.

MS-DOS users can control the system configuration by editing two system files located in the root directory of the boot disk, that is, CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT,IO.SYS will view the CONFIG.SYS to load the specified hardware driver, and then automatically execute the batch instructions contained in AUTOEXEC.BAT.

MS-DOS generally uses the command line interface to accept user instructions, but in later versions of MS-DOS, DOS programs can also enter graphical mode by calling corresponding DOS interrupts, that is, graphical interface programs under DOS.

Previous versions of MS-DOS do not support FAT32, long filenames, and large hard drives. These are fully supported since MS-DOS 7. 0, especially in MS-DOS version 7. 10.

This is the end of the article on which operating system ms-dos refers to. I hope the above content can be of some help to you, so that you can learn more knowledge. if you think the article is good, please share it for more people to see.
