You need a boot loader to do this. I run Linux on my PC, so my boot loader is GNU GRUB. You can try that. But a while back, I was a big fan of SystemCommander by V Communications (now, Avanquest.) Looks like the price has gone up ($70) but it allows you to boot like what you are trying to do.
But SystemCommander isn't the only option. Any reasonably sophisticated boot loader should do what you want to do. -jh On Thu, May 15, 2008 at 3:44 PM, MegaBrutal <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all, > > I've installed FreeDOS a half year ago.
