Here is the issue. I had a person make a copy of my entire hard drive to cd and now I want copy it all to new hard drive. This cd shows all the folders and files on it, The problem is I have no idea if this was done from a fat32 or a NTFS Drive. The other problem is I have no idea of what version of Windows this is on this dive. It does have a DOS folder with the files in it with a date of 5-3-1994. The win.com file is dated 1-5-1995. So is windows 98 or XP or what? It also have a folder named NWDOS which could Dr. Dos or Novell dos dated 1994 I hope you can help me with this.
From the dates you've given, although they cannot be directly attributed to specific versions, the hard disk is probably FAT16, it sounds like MS DOS 6.2x and Windows 3.11 or so. Windows 95 was only released in August 1995 with RTM in July, so the win.com date is too early for that. Of course, the dates on the CD could be wrong. Check for Readme files or similar documents, they can tell what release it is.
Here is what I did I. I found out it was Dr Dos. Ver 7. So I got a blank hard drive and made it less it then 2 gb and formatted it as fat. Got a Dr Dos start up disk and made the hard disk bootable. Then copied the cd to this drive. Some of the files are working.
Was possibly a dual-boot, then. Windows 95 comes with and expects its own DOS layer, MS-DOS 7.x, located in \WINDOWS\COMMAND, to run. DR-DOS is normally happy to run from its own directory only.
