It is possible to run DOS on one of the cores. You will need VMware Workstation. But I am not sure if QEMU supports it as well. I personally use QEMU with FreeDOS on top of my Ubuntu Linux computer. And, Windows XP comes with a DOS subsystem to work on top of it, so try that first. If that has a problem, you can always use QEMU or VMware Workstation with FreeDOS to make it work.

I would like to use Free Dos on a new lap top (Windows
XL) for when the time comes that old computer may die.
But I have absolutely no idea how to do this.  Is a
comprehensive set of guidance instructions available
that would tell an computer-dumb old fellow like me
how to do this?  Basically I would like to have the
option to boot up either DOS or Windows XL when I
start up the computer

This new lap top has a "dual-processor" in it.  So is
it possible to simultaneously run DOS with one of
those processors and Windows with the other?  Speed is
not an issue for me.

I am earnest and do want to learn.  Not trying to be
funny, only sincere - I am not good at understanding
fancy computer talk.

My thanks to anyone of you who has the infomration and
patience to deal with me.
