I read the article but it doesn't quite give me a satisfactory solution without doing a lot of experimenting. What I need to know is : If I have XP pro setup (NTFS) on HD1 and now I want to add a second HD,fdisk for 1gig partition,make it Fat16 and install Dos 6.22, Will it work? And if not what changes need to be made. Presently HD1 has XP as "C" drive". HD2 would come up as "C" drive also. Switching back and forth in the Bios would not be acceptible, so is there another or perhaps a better way?? I have several HD's to play with. Many thanks

Solution 1:
Convert the Drive C of your HD1 from NTFS to FAT32, and then install DOS before or after WinXP, so dual-boot between DOS and WinXP in the boot menu.
Solution 2:
Use another Boot Manager/Loader, such as GRUB for DOS/NTLDR:
