Curley_Boy 0 Posted December 8, 2002 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. Share this post Link to post

DosFreak 2 Posted December 9, 2002 FreeDos? I'd use FreeDos over MSDOS nowadays. Better chipset support and more evolved programs in most cases. Share this post Link to post
