[Trlog] Trying to install DOS...

[kd4d at comcast.net]

HI Martin: 


FreeDOS certainly works well.  It is not trivial to install on a WindowsXP machine, 

though, unless you want to destroy the Windows installation and re-install.  It CAN 

be done, by resizing partitions and adding a boot loader.  I wrote up a procedure 

that works for FreeDOS or MSDOS which is at:

Dual Boot "Real" DOS... 



Several folks on this list have successfully added DOS to WindowsXP machines 

using this procedure. 



I recommend using GPARTED from the System Rescue CD now 

www.sysresccd.org . 



Let me know if you have any questions or want more information!

try FreeDOS 

http://www.freedos.org/freedos/files/ 

Download the iso file, burn it onto a CD and install. The installation 
is very simple.
