Installing FreeDos...
I got the Freedos and I want to dualboot it with my WinXP with NTFS partition.
But that's so difficult. I did the "sys a: c: fdimage.bin" inside the FreeDos command prompt accessed thru CDROM, and copied the system files. Then I went back into editing the boot.ini to add another option. Of course I copied the fdimage.bin back into my WinXP partition. I loaded FreeDos in the bootmenu, but all it says was "Loading FreeDos_" and it just hangs there. :shock: Anyone did the dualbooting with FreeDos before? I heard that someone did very well installing the FreeDos even with the NTFS partitions...

FreeDOS requires a FAT partition. It cannot operate on a NTFS partition. You need to setup a FAT partition on your hardisk to install FreeDOS on.

. . . you can also check your FreeDOS documentation, to see if you can get enough of what you need just by booting from a FreeDOS floppy diskette. Some hard disk and memory utilities have used FreeDOS in the past as a base to run the diagnostics from a bootable floppy.
