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: http://www.osloader.com/ J.
