Unless I did something wrong, I cannot create a MBR-style ~700 GB FAT32 MS-DOS 7.1 BOOTABLE disc.


Interestingly, I can install MS-DOS 7.1 via CD onto a 700 GB FAT32 MBR par style partition - but I cannot boot from it. The spinning hard drive capacity is 700 GB.


Also, from my CD MS-DOS 7.1 install, IO.sys, MSDOS.sys and some other files are missing
