I have been using NT since the first version, 3.1, in 1993. There is no built-in facility or tool to run DOS under it and never has been. That is why I asked. This is highly relevant and important to the question. There are no "dots" to follow. OS/2 2.x and Warp could boot DOS from a floppy, but I don't think even they could run it from a disk partition. Not sure; I haven't used OS/2 in over 25 years. You *need* to give us more information, and accurate, verified information, not just guesses. > Sample output and version info. > > C:\>DIR F* /P > Volume in drive C is XP > > Directory of C:\ > > FAT-6502 <DIR> 05/17/17 7:12a > FCIV <DIR> 05/17/17 7:12a > FED <DIR> 05/03/21 7:34p > FILE-D~1 <DIR> 04/23/18 7:19p > FREEDOS <DIR> 05/17/17 7:12a > 0 file(s) 0 bytes > 5 dir(s) 888,552,960 bytes free AFAIK XP *must* be installed in an NTFS partition. It cannot be installed on FAT. DOS can't boot from NTFS and can't read NTFS without additional drivers. So I still don't know what you're doing here. > C:\>VER > > FreeCom version 0.84-pre2 XMS_Swap [Aug 28 2006 00:29:00] > C:\> You might be able to execute FreeDOS' `COMMAND.COM` under a DOS Windows in XP but that's not running FreeDOS/ > I already tried c:\dos\country.sys and c:freedos\country.sys Did you check to see that the relevant files exist? There's no point randomly changing the lines. But anyway, I don't think this is going to work. If it can or it does it uses some tech I have never seen and that is not a standard part of the OS. -- Liam Proven ~ Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk ~ gMail/gTalk/FB: lpro...@gmail.com Twitter/LinkedIn: lproven ~ Skype: liamproven UK: (+44) 7939-087884 ~ Czech [+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal]: (+420) 702-829-053 _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
