Don't you think that would be best asked in the Win2K forum? I believe Win2K uses a boot loader & supports multi boot (much like XP)

Why don't they make computers that will do what we think we want them to do?

Start from the beginning.Make a small FAT 16 partition(the max for dos 6.22 is less than 2 GB in size,it can be as little as 50 Mb,it all depends how you intend to use it,how many programs you have to use etc.)as your C drive and set up MS-DOS 6.22.Make the balance of the drive as extended logical partitions (or drives) with FAT 32.Run the Windows 2000 setup.It will create a dual boot with your old system that offers a menu upon booting the computer.Good luck.
