Solve : Dual Boot Windows XP and MS DOS 6.0?

Answer»

Greetings
I wanna dual boot my XP with MS DOS 6.0. I have a BOOTABLE CD of DOS. I read somewhere that

Code: [Select]format C:\ /s
sys C:

will make C: bootable and install DOS to it. I also know that DOS cant read NTFS PARTITIONS. I have a FAT partition namely I: on which I want to install DOS but it is not detected by the bootable cd.
Any ideas?

Illegal. DOS 6 was only distributed on Floppy.

performing the described commands will also erase everything on your C: drive- including windows.

If your I: drive is a USB drive then you are out of luck.
Thanks for help.

Luck is REFUELED. I: Drive is a partition on my HDD.DOS MUST be installed first. it only UNDERSTANDS FAT. (not fat32- just fat16).


the partition must be at the beginning of the disk as well.


C: would be DOS 6, and then you can install XP on the remainder of the disk (D:)- XP will automatically install it's OS selection menu for you.Thanks.. I'll try..
