will dos work in XP?

[quickpicks]

I have a win. XP computer that I am "running" DOS 6.21 on.
I am using a boot disc but I cant really do anything in dos because none of the comands will work. I am going to try and get a compuer to use from my school tomorrow. Those should work better.

The main reason why I need DOS is to run some of the programs I need to program some radio equipment that has dos software.

With a startup disk you can run the computer from DOS. XP doesn't have restart in MS DOS. You can run DOS while windows is running but some applications might not work. If you want to start the computer in DOS then.

http://www.bootdisk.com select Windows 98SE OEM and follow the instructions. Then turn on your computer with the floppy in and choose Option 2 no CD or option 1 with CD
