Hi, Harry. Actually, yyou do have the file msdos.sys on your pc, it is a
hidden file so that is why you couldn't find it. You need to go into
Windows explorer under the view options and tell it you want to display
hidden files. Then a search for msdos.sys will find the file for you. Just
make sure not to delete this file or you will have major problems when
trying to restart your computer.
