DOS( Disk Operating System) is an operating system that runs from a hard disk drive. The term can also refer to a particular family of disk operating systems, most commonly MS-DOS(Microsoft Disk Operating System).
An operating system (OS) is the software that controls a computer's hardware and peripheral devices and allows other programs to function. An operating system (OS) is the software that controls a computer's hardware and peripheral devices and allows other programs to function. Early computer did not have disk drives but were hard-wired to carry out specific computations.
Later, computers were able to store instructions loaded into the computer's memory using punch cards and later magnetic tapes. Computer memory space was limited and when the instructions to control a computer were moved onto a disk drive, such as a floppy disk or internal hard drive, it was considered cutting-edge technology.

Today, any modern operating system would be considered a disk operating system. Disk operating system is also used to describe several very similar command line disk operating systems. PC-DOS(Personal Computer Disk Operating System) was the first widely-installed disk operating system used in personal computers running on Intel 8086 16-bit processors.It was developed for IBM by Microsoft Corporation, which also produced its own almost identical version called MS-DOS. Other computers at the time, such as the Commodore 64, Atari 800, and Apple II, all featured a disk operating system, CBM DOS, Atari DOS, and Apple DOS, respectively. (DOS/360 was an operating system for IBM mainframes which first appeared in 1966, but is unrelated to the 8086-based DOS of the 1980s.
