I have WinXP Home installed on hard drive C. I would like to get another, small HD and install MS-DOS 6.22 (or some other version) on it to play classic games that won't run under WinXP due to conventional memory restraints and other "illegal operations" XP doesn't like.
1) Can I create a dual boot system of some sort that prompts the user as to which HD he wants to boot from?
2) Can I use drive D: in WinXP e.g. to move files to it, even though DOS needs to use FAT16 and my XP runs on FAT32?
3) If not, can I use drive C: in DOS mode to get those same files?
4) If not, how am I gonna get any files to drive D?
Any help will be much appreciated!

One of my systems is dual-booted with DOS and XP... installed DOS first, on a 2GB partition (C:), then installed XP on the remainder of the drive (D:). Forced to store all DOS stuff on C:, but it works OK fer me!
