MS-DOS File System
The file system ms dos
MS-DOS (short for Microsoft Disk Operating System) is a file system and operating system that was widely used on IBM PC-compatible computers during the 1980s and early 1990s. MS-DOS was developed by Microsoft, and it was one of the first popular operating systems for personal computers.
The file system used by MS-DOS is called the File Allocation Table (FAT) file system. The FAT file system uses a table to keep track of the location of each file on a disk. This table is called the File Allocation Table, and it is stored on the disk itself. The FAT file system is relatively simple and efficient, and it was widely used on floppy disks and hard drives during the era of MS-DOS.
The MS-DOS operating system itself provides a command-line interface, which allows users to interact with the system by typing commands. The command-line interface of MS-DOS is known for its simplicity and speed, but it can be less user-friendly than modern graphical user interfaces.
Although MS-DOS is no longer in widespread use today, it had a significant impact on the development of personal computing, and many of its features and concepts are still used in modern operating systems.
