You can't. XP runs under FAT32 or NTFS. DOS runs on FAT16.

Thanks Hal

I read somewhere that we should install DOS in order to repair errors, I had a "NTLDR not found" error I tried to repair it using the XP cd but it did not work so I did a reinstall.

I got to find the website that told me how to copy the NTLDR file and just reinstall that next time.
