Information about OS interaction through DOS

[Gajendra1]

Hello,
I am using windows xp as my default operating system and I have started learning computer science, so I would like to know how the operating system interacts with the the DOS. Also, can you provide me some of the DOS commands with can control the system. Any help regarding this topic will hel me. Thank you.

A disk operating system or DOS (literally disk operating system) is an operating system relatively basic, consisting of interfaces designed to simplify the use of computers. In particular, it allows to unify the systems to access storage devices such as hard disks and hard drives. This system command line is rudimentary: no multitasking, no virtual memory, managing only mode segmented 16 -bit microprocessor x86.

The role of DOS is to interpret the commands entered via the keyboard by the user. These commands are used to perform the following tasks:

- managing files and directories
- updating records
- Hardware Configuration
- optimize memory
- program implementation

These commands are typed at the prompt, that is to say, in the case of MS-DOS (Microsoft DOS, the best known) a drive letter followed by a backslash (backslash), which gives A: \ or C: \ for example.

Here are some of the useful commands of dos operating system

Date and Time:
- TIME builtin : TIME: Displays and allows to update the system time
- DATE builtin : DATE: Displays and allows to update the system time

Utilities and floppy disk :
<Drive> Chkdsk: Checks the specified disk
The report contains:

- the volume of disk storage
- the number of files and folders on the hard disk
- available space remaining
- the number of hard disk sectors unusable
- size of memory and the space available

If you are interested to try the concepts of operating system then you can use, tiny remote control for Dos. The program works on UDP and is very fast. The author has made himself very much work for the client. It has extracted from an old video card, the fonts and font table so that the image of the hosts really 1:1 could be shown. Remote control solution for DOS which does not consume much memory. After the search was for a telnet daemon for DOS without success, I came across with this nice tool "Tiny Remote Control for DOS."

Hello,
Minimum requirements of Dos

Minimum: 512 KB of RAM, 5 MB of hard disk (varies depending on the version)
- FAT filesystem
- run on any x86-compatible processor
- demand much less RAM and disk space than other systems

The DOS commands are separated into two types:

- the internal control: directly executable, are part of the core operating
system.
- the external controls: separated from the original program, are additional
programs. To execute an external command, it will also signal its location on
the hard disk or floppy disk (possibly via the PATH command).
