I have Windows NT and I NEED Dos 6.22 to work. The only problem is this computer ONLY let windows NT boot up. I have OS loader so when my computer starts I get a menu That only has Windows NT. I have Dos 6.22 installed on my computer but the problem is how do I get it to load up?? Os loader won't let me. So, Is there a way I can make a boot disk that allows me to go striaght into dos? Help!

Check out the boot.ini file in the root dir.
you have to un-rite protect it before edit ing it but you can get to the drive and partition ie. 0-0 or 0-1 etc.

do the following :

cd\ { to get to the root directory}
attrib boot.ini -h -s -r { no hide, system and read only }

edit boot.ini

{put back file attributes }
attrib boot.ini +h +s +r
