Hello Sir,
 
I have using Windows 2000 Professional Machine.
 
Formated in NTFS and loaded in C:
 
My harddisk space is 20GB
 
partition C: size is 10GB. Remaining 10GB is unpartitioned.
 
I want load MSDOS 6.22 version to remaining partition.
 
How to create it.
 
That means
 
System displays the boot menu
 
"Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional"
"MS-DOS"
 
if i am select window 2000 professional the system will be loaded in windows 2000 Prof or select MS-DOS the system will be loaded in MS-DOS.
 
How to create boot.ini file or any idea please reply.
 
Thank You
A.Kannan

You can't unless you use a boot partition manager to hide your NTFS C:.
 
MS-DOS requires to be install on your "C:" parition.
 
Also MS-DOS 6.22 only supports FAT16 which can only supports 2GB partitions. You'll need FAT32 (only supported on 95b+) to support larger partitions.

Isn't there a compatible version of DOS that does support larger partition sizes and long filename support ?!?
 
But of course MS-DOS only supports FAT16 partitions

You could install 9x and just delete the Windows dir I guess...or download the ripped version of DOS 7x off the net (Which is illegal).
 
 
FreeDOS may support FAT32.
