Dual Boot XP and MS Dos6

[Moggy6]

I have XP on a master drive C:\ and a Dos based program on a slave drive D:\, how can I select which OS to boot to when switching on, I think BOOT.INI on XP would need to be changed but not sure what to add or how to edit.

The second drive is D:\Autocab\Taxi\Taxi.exe to run this program

Do you actually have the four floppy - full blown version of DOS 6.0 installed on D drive?

Not sure if all four floppys are installed but the whole program is an image from a previous drive which was getting old and was a 485 mb hard drive, the folders on the HD are DOS which contains 123 files in this folder and also this Autocab program in another folder which when run Dos fires up and then the Taxi program, I am trying to also have a second HD which contains XP so I can select which Program to run i.e. Windows or Dos 6 Autocab.

If you had installed DOS first, XP would have created a boot menu...

This bootloader might maybe help:

Thanks for that I will have a go.

I couldn't install XP last as MsDos was already on a hard drive and XP was already installed on another drive so just put the 2 together. I know what you mean as in fact I did that prior but the Hard drive failed so I had another drive with XP aleady on it so was just looking for a way of selecting which OS to boot from at start up, this should work.

Many thanks.
