    XP NTLDR and adding DOS to boot menu
    « on: March 01, 2019, 05:18:03 PM »
    Hi!

    I have installed on 1st partition MS-DOS 7.10 formatted by FAT32.
    On second partition I have Windows XP formatted by FAT32.
    I'm using to boot into DOS floppy, to XP NTLDR.

    Several years ago I created adding DOS to NTLDR, but note was lost after disk crash.

    So, Q is maybe simple but need to confirm it.
    I found over the web this info:

    Add to boot.ini:
    Code: [Select]
    [boot loader]
    timeout=10
    default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS
    [operating systems]
    multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Windows XP" /fastdetect
    C:\bootsect.dos="MS-DOS" /win95dos

    But is it correct if MBR was overwritten?
    Even, I'm not sure about bootsect.dos and /win95dos parameter...

    Can anybody explain it me how it works and/or what to fix?

    Thank you very much!
