Dual boot MS-DOS 6.22 and NT Wks 4?
Im going to inherit an old Pentium based system within the next few weeks. The plan is to format it and use it as a file/backup server on my home network with NT4 as the OS (which it should be able to cope with fingers crossed).

However I also want to add a DOS partition to play all my old faves on, VDMSound and Dosbox are all well and good but nothing beats playing a game on the OS and Hardware it was designed for.
Heres a checklist, plz tell me if I've missed something important or got a point wrong:
1. Wipe the HD
2. Set a 1G primary partition with FDISK and make it active
3. Format with FAT16
4. Install and configure DOS (God that should be fun! ;( )
5. Install WinNT and configure remaining partitions in NTFS (Hopefully it *should* add the DOS partition to the boot menu, I hope?).
Any further advice comments would be greatfully apprciated.
