ii. If working from a personal computer, it is best to create the folder in the C:\ drive
B. Once the zip file is in the correct location, right click the folder to unzip it to the root directory: C:\ or E:\ or Z:\
C. The lab will use these folders and files to complete the lab for DOS
D. Navigate to the Lab6Folder by typing cd Lab6Folder. Type dir to look at the contents in the directory.
