Hello, I am having a problem with DOS 7.1. I have Windows XP installed on disk0part0 in NTFS, which is primary. I created a second primary partition in FAT and installed DOS 7.1 on it, everything installed fine, I can see the files there in Windows. So what Im wondering is how do I make DOS 7.1 a choice on the boot menue. I already have Fedora Core 1 and Ubuntu Linux installed and booting properly from the OS choices screen, Im just having a big prob figuring how how to get DOS up there also. Thanx for any help!!

You normally install DOS Standalone first on the C: partition, actually if it is MS DOS 7.xx then it was never officially a standalone version.

Also some versions of MS DOS and compatible will not boot from anything other than the C: partition without a 3rd party boot manager:

What boot loader are you useing, I take it is not XP's. XP's I don't think will handle more then 1 non NT OS. If its GRUB best bet is try the linux forum.
