The Installation has been made either with the Boot Disk set... about 30 floppy disks... or over CD. As far as I remember you needed also a Boot Disk to prepare the HD with fdisk. But this is the Backup of your PG... you should havecreated these floppies. Best regards J_Bell

You can look for your closes location here. https://www.automation.siemens.com/partner/guisearch.asp?show=prod&lang=en&regid=DEF For your Installation lineup I would say that you can leave DOS out... If you install Windows 98 you will install DOS too. Best regards J_Bell
