You meant to say DOS is FAT16, I'm sure.

if you have xp installed it most likely is installed on a drive that is
formatted to ntsf formatting.... and dos is generally fat 32 unless you have
the
oldies fat 16...dos will not read any ntsf formatted files so that's
out.... only way to install dos on a drive to read xp would be install dos on
fat 32 format and then partition and dual bot xp on fat 32.... but in a way it
would very much like installing a time bomb with a clock that no one can
set....
oh what fun it can be hen you pc flips,flops,and a few other messed over tricks
it might try..... and with latest PCs doubt could even get dos to format the
giant drives.....be one massive waste of time to even attempt it never mind
to consider doing so.... also... WIN & home premium does come as a
family pack..... $149 and can be installed on 3 computers..... so am waitng
delevery for that set... expect it in next couple days..... and later in the
cycle will get WWIN 7 Pro..... for other computers..... when my installed
versions now on will be expiring.... chuck.... in Ok

can't get to other command file options ( like switching to the dos
folder
on the XP drive?) from the XP cmd
window.
