How to install Windows 7/XP on Asus K53 Series K53SM-SX010D laptop with FreeDOS ?

How to install Windows 7 on FreeDOS Asus K53 Series K53SM-SX010D laptop ? was the only question in my mind when I bought this laptop from Flipkart with out any OS but FreeDos.This post will help you find your solution to your trouble while installing any operating system like Windows Xp, Windows 7 or even Ubuntu free linux.


My heartbeats raised when I pressed F2,F12 keys and BIOS didn't showed up but this menu...

"MENU 1 - Load FreeDOS with EMM386, no EMS (most UMBs), max RAM free"
"MENU 2 - Load FreeDOS with EMM386+EMS and SHARE"
"MENU 3 - Load FreeDOS including HIMEM XMS-memory driver"


So I restarted my laptop again and opt for Delete button but it didn't work too. Finally I tried ESC and it  "actually worked" :)

If you have bought this laptop without any OS other than FreeDos then reboot your system as as soon as you hit power button to start your system then just hit ESC button like you do in other laptops with F2 or F12.

Then BIOS menu should appear and you can then change the boot drive sequence to get your operating system installed.

 Rest you can do... but if you have more queries you can ask :)
(I am sure this solution should work on any laptop which comes without operating system but has FreeDOS installed on it)
