Even the professional version required Windows to install. The installation was a clunky joke: making floppies, then booting from those floppies.
You write about PERSONAL EDITION, which was ment as a kind of demo (it is installed inside Windows, just like any other application).
Professional version does not require Windows at all. It also does not require any floppies to boot.
