I think I forgot all of the reasons why you would ever want to install
Windows NT under DOS. But one of them was I believe if your BIOS can't
see your optical drive was one of them. And one of the tricks was to use
DOS with a CD/DVD driver and then you can install Windows from a CD. But
those BIOS are really old nowadays.
