DOS (Disk Operating System)

DOS, or Disk Operating System, is a software that manages a computer’s hardware and storage devices, especially disk drives. It provides a platform for users to run programs, organize files, and perform tasks like saving, opening, and deleting data. DOS operates through simple text commands entered via a command-line interface, rather than a graphical interface. Historically, it was common in early personal computers before Windows became popular. Essentially, DOS acts as the bridge between the user and the computer’s hardware, coordinating operations and file management to ensure the system functions smoothly.
