Comment: I currently am runnung WinME on my computer, I downloaded Beos and installed it but when I tried to run the program it said Windows did not support that type of DOS application.
Is there a standalone version of Beos i can get or one that runs from WinME?

Reply: (edit)You have basically one choice - make a bootdisk. Windows Startup disk, whatever. Windows Me doesn't let you system format a floppy disk to make a boot disk, and has all dos-mode features removed. I have BeOS 5 Personal Edition (love it too) and it came with an option to make a bootdisk.

Reply: (edit)Do NOT run the patch mentioned above! Access to MS-DOS isn't hidden at all, my friend. Simply boot with the WinME Startup Disk (can be made from Add/Remove Programs --> Startup Disk).
Boot with the disk and choose "Minimal Boot". Simple as that. Don't go replacing your IO.SYS file like the patch above suggests.
