Good day, all:
As I have posted before, I have developed a first version of a detailed procedure to install
DOS (MS-DOS or FreeDOS) on a Windows XP computer, allowing dual-booting
DOS and Windows XP and without destroying the Windows XP installation or having
to re-install Windows XP. This uses open source software, including qtparted and
parted from the Linux world and a boot loader called "GAG."
You don't have to know how to use Linux to use the procedure. There is a wonderful,
bootable, Linux CD that takes care of all of the details for you (available from
www.sysresccd.org).
I would like to update the document, adding FreeDOS specific information and refining
the procedure. I need a few people to go through it and help me with that.
If you are willing to install FreeDOS on a Windows XP computer, you can download
version 1.0 of the procedure from:
http://www.k1ea.com/hints/DOS%20dual%20boot%20version%201.0.pdf
or contact me and I'll send it to you. It is still rather MS-DOS centric, but I have
installed FreeDOS this way and it works. The computer I am typing this on has
Windows XP, FreeDOS, and Linux installed. My other three computers are
also set up this way.
I welcome questions about the procedure and comments/feedback.
Thanks in advance for your help.
