Hi Paul -
The best success that I've had in doing what I think you are trying to
accomplish is put a DOS partition and a dual boot setup on the hard disk of
my XP machine. Here is a site with an excellent description of the process:

Of course, backup everything and YMMV..., but it did work for me on an XP
laptop that I like to have for non-shack excursions. Here in the shack I
still use an older PII machine with Windows 98SP on it essentially
dedicated for running TR.
Also, search the trlog@contesting.com archives, I think that others have
even used a memory stick to boot XP machines with another OS. Look for
posts by Mark, KD4D, he has done a lot with this type of solution, I believe.
