Setting the default DOS version

You can choose the default DOS version to use in the virtual partition. This version of DOS is written to the virtual partition of each client computer as part of a task, and used for rebooting the client computer when required.

The default is usually PC-DOS, which is supplied with Symantec Ghost. If your computers don't run under PC-DOS, you need to use MS-DOS instead.

Note: MS-DOS is not supplied with Symantec Ghost. You need to obtain an MS-DOS licence, and use the Ghost Boot Wizard to load it before you can use it.

The DOS version you specify here is the default version for all clients. You can choose a different DOS version for individual clients, by changing the client property settings.
