a lot of the old dos games will not work on windows 7, also by going to the dos command prompt it will not pick up your external hard drive.
BUT:
There is a solution to both of these problems for those of you who are interested.
Download & INSTALL : dosbox, which is a dos emulator.
Once you've installed it, you can use your normal command prompt in windows 7 for your external hard drive.
IE; in my case g: dir, and it will give you your directory structure on the external drive.
But as stated you'll be able to play all those old dos based games that you never could before.
ENJOY.
