Hi All,

Sorry for the long delay on the reply. I've been away on business. First 
of all, thanks to everyone for their help. Especially Bern B. Blaauw. 

I finally managed to get my system to dual boot. Albeit without using 
winXP's boot.ini. Here's what I did for anyone who would like to know:

1. My configuration has two hds. My main boot partition with windows XP 
is an NTFS partition. (Drive C: to win.) The second is a FAT partition. 
(D: to winXP)

2. I installed freeDOS on drive D: normally and SYSed the drive. freeDOS 
views this hd as C:

3. After getting frustrated with winXP's boot.ini I tried OS Loader 2000 
to dual boot and it works great. no boot floppy or anything.

You can find OS Loader 2000 here:
