Good day, all: I have finished the current draft of my procedure for installing FreeDOS on a WindowsXP computer (dual-booting) and created a CD to help with the procedure. (This is still version fdinst091).
You can install DOS on (almost) any WindowsXP computer in about an hour, without damaging the WindowsXP installation. I have updated my written procedure for doing this, and provided a bootable CD image that includes everything you need to install FreeDOS. (To install MSDOS, you will have to download a separate disk image, but almost all of the installation is the same). I have written a very detailed procedure which is available at www.k1ea.com/hints, Dual-boot "Real" DOS on Windows XP. The CD image can be downloaded from http://odin.fdos.org/dual/ (fdinst091.iso). Thanks to Jim Riesert, AD1C, for providing space for the procedure on the K1EA web site and Jeremy Davis for providing space for the CD image on the fdos.org site. I would welcome any comments or suggestions about how to make this even easier. All of my computers boot both WindowsXP and DOS (and some boot Linux as well). Let me know if you have any questions.
