👉 Dos computing, or Disk Operating System, refers to the software layer that manages and controls the storage devices on a computer system, providing an interface between the operating system and the hardware. It is responsible for organizing data on storage devices, managing file systems, handling input/output operations, and ensuring efficient use of storage resources. Dos computing abstracts the complexities of raw hardware interactions, allowing users and applications to interact with storage devices in a standardized way. This abstraction enables features like file management, data backup and recovery, and seamless integration with various software applications. Dos systems can be either command-line based, where users interact via text commands, or graphical user interface (GUI) based, offering visual tools for managing storage.
