<p>To run TestDisk under DOS, the file <b>cwsdpmi.exe</b> (included in our DOS/Win9x dowonload), must be present in the same folder (or at least in the PATH when run). You could:<br />
</p>
<pre>1) Copy testdisk.exe (and cwsdpmi.exe) to an existing DOS boot disk (if<br /> there's enough space AND you don't mind writing to it), or<br />
2) Copy the two files to a separate diskette, boot your system with an<br /> existing DOS boot disk, then run TestDisk from its own disk, or<br />
3) Create a simple boot disk just for TestDisk.<br />
</pre>
<p>To format a new floppy disk in your A: drive with only the DOS system boot files under DOS/Win9x, enter: <b>format a: /s</b><br />
To make an existing floppy disk (in your A: drive) bootable under DOS/Win9x, enter: <b>sys a:</b><br />
Under Windows 9x/Windows Me, go to: Start --> Settings --> Control Panel --> Add Remove Programs --> Startup Disk --> Create Disk.<br />
You can also download bootdisk images or self-creating programs from: <a href="http://www.bootdisk.com/" class="external text" title="http://www.bootdisk.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.bootdisk.com/ </a>.

<p>TestDisk works under FreeDOS Beta 8. You can get FreeDOS at
