Does Windows NT 3.51 need DOS?

[BC_Programmer]

I'd like to thank the MSDN Library, April 2000 distribution. I probably read a good 80% of the articles, backgrounders, knowledge base articles, etc that were in there, since I didn't have the internet at the time.

I used to read...

I found that my head was full though, and when I tried to learn something new, I would forget something that I already knew.

Like the time that I learned how to make beer, I completely forgot how to drive.

aww man, that's like what happened one time, I learned how do drive on two wheels, and then forgot that whole "don't drive on the sidewalk" rule. At least, that's what I told the police.

How was the judge?  Did he have a sense a humor?

The question I'm dying to ask is... why?! 

I just had to mention I lol'ed here

All Windows NT OSs do NOT need DOS.

Why not try freedos http://www.freedos.org - This *SHOULD* run Windows 3.1 and your games

Or try DOSBox http://www.dosbox.com

One feature of NT is that DOS is not required to run or install. I highly recommend you use DOS bootdisk with CD support to install.

WHY. You keep contradicting yourself!

a bootdisk isn't needed. but use one anyway.

Why? what does it add? All NT CDs since 3.51 are bootable! and I think 3.1 is on floppies anyway.

Yeah it''s bootable.
But I'm having install problems, i'll post that as a new topic soon.
