Silly DOS + Windows XP dual boot?

luckiejacky

Did anyone try to install Dual-boot with DOS and WinXP?
The problem is Win31 won't have drivers for modern video hardware..
And the second problem is that most of DOS games themselves don't support modern video hardware..
Thanks

點解不考慮用DOSbox或者VMware、Virtual PC、VirtualBox這些代替方案呢？

Just for fun
Maybe the only solution is virtualization really

I am just that silly person. However, my MS-DOS partition is not used to run DOS games or other DOS software. It is an "anchor" for other operating systems such as Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. It may also be used for the occasional need to update BIOS. In my experience the safest way of updating the BIOS on the motherboard is running the update in DOS.

If you still want to run DOS games occasionally, like me, then I believe the best choice now is to use a software called DOSBox. It can run under Windows XP/Vista and various linux distributions.

I use Avlgo Manager to boot into a virtual floppy disk image when I need to flash things in DOS.

Avlgo 唔錯 ，可惜甘道夫好似無 update 好耐啦。

或者 用 grub4dos 做 boot manager, 簡單靈活, 兼容性強。
用開 xp 乜都唔駛 install .
係 boot.ini 加多句

[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
c:\grldr="GRUB4DOS boot WINPE/DOS/LINUX"

grub4dos 配置 (菜單) 文件大致係。
....
title  MSDOS71_NTFS_LFN_mountISO
## [4]
map --mem ()/BOOT/IMG/MSDOS71_NTFS_LFN_mountISO.IMG (fd0)
map --hook
chainloader (fd0)+1
rootnoverify (fd0)
map --floppies=1
boot
....

grub4dos 去時空搵 http://bbs.znpc.net/forumdisplay.php?fid=4

改名啦,仲叫电脑盲用户?  ^_^

如果要flash bios, 太多方法了,可能底板本身有windows based update program,亦可以 usb boot (用hp个 usb mass storage format tools, 选bootable), 自己用winimage改一改个win98se的boot disk,放bios bin file and Awareflash入去,用nero烧番bootable(floppy emulation)出来.........

呢D正路而又简单的方法大把,驶乜要有个dos partition.??

仲有grub4dos, avlgo, and windows PE, 飞起个dos partition啦
