Hi Don, This topic is a bit off topic for this forum, but before closing downt this thread I will will answer your questions. I've known for quite a while that Vista and XP had abilities to create dos startup disks, but I don't have a 3.5 floppy in my laptop or desktop so can not take advantage of that feature. At Least not from the 3.5, but here is a hint. Some burning software such as Nero will allow you to make a dos startup cd which works equally as good if not better as you can burn all your dos programs to it provided you don't need to make changes to the settings files.
