China DOS Union

Very convenient, thank you.

There's no end to learning!

I was using a virtual machine to simulate it, haha.

Without using the NTFS system, some functions in XP may not be available. It's better to make one more primary partition to install DOS, and I feel that managing the system with systemcommand is quite good.

We had a power outage for 4 days here. Brother upstairs, is the reason you can't succeed because your system is WinXP Sp2? I once saw that in some Sp2, even Grub can't be used. The multiple machines I tested are basically Sp1.

What exactly does he mean by "can't succeed"? Is it not being able to display the boot menu? Or not being able to boot XP or DOS?

Does the method you mentioned by the original poster only allow entering DOS by pressing F8? Can it be used on Run? Can a dual-boot be made?

There is a method that I wonder if it can help some friends here.
That is IBM's one-key restore system. For the requirements of some friends here, this system can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone:
It can not only set up a FAT32 partition outside the NTSF (installing Windows) main partition for storing DOS but also get a one-key restore system. And usually this FAT32 partition is hidden under Windows, unless you use software to make it visible.
Press the "F11 key" before starting Windows to activate this disk as the boot disk, enter the function menu, there are four items, respectively as follows:
Escape to DOS Prompt
Backup Your System of Current Setup
Restore Your System to Current Setup
Restore Your System to Default Setup
From the menu, it can be seen,
The first item: Enter DOS
The second item: Backup system
The third and fourth items respectively restore the system to different backup states (there are two choices哦)
I am not familiar with DOS. I just placed the DOS version files of PartitionMagic and some simple commands in the disk,
All run normally, and of course GHOST can run normally.

Actually, most of the commands are already in the Ebd.zip compressed package. This Deletree is not very useful; you can completely delete all the files in the subdirectories first, and then use the Rd command to delete this directory. As for F ...

I have already used your method to add the DOS system. My system is Windows XP SP2. Now I want to ask how to add more commands. Can you tell me the specific operations? Thank you in advance.

Re trshlhyk:
I have placed all the used DOS commands in Ebd.zip. If you want to add more DOS commands, you can use tools like WinRar to open the Ebd.zip archive and then add the commands.

I want to ask if after ".Echo y|Bootpart winnt boot:c: (This step is to re - restore the boot kernel of Nt, because you used Sys a: c: to overwrite the original boot information of Nt on the C: drive. If you don't do this step, booting from the hard disk will become pure Dos.)", there is a "|" after Y?

It's the key above the one to the left of Backspace.

Moderator, hello. I have read your article. I also added pure DOS to WinXP.

But I found that many programs can't run, such as scandisk, smarvdrv, etc.

It prompts that HIHMM.SYS is not loaded (I can't remember very clearly either).

Please help me to solve it. Thank you.

14th floor, you solved a problem that has troubled me for a long time. I have always wanted a dual system with DOS, but when using vloppy, the problem you mentioned occurs, and ghost cannot be used for restoration. I once saw that there is a DOS in the startup of an XP universal clone, which is exactly the Maxdos you mentioned. I have been unable to find where it is. Hehe, today you have really helped me a lot. And I also understand that after using Ghost for restoration, vloppy becomes invalid. There is another question, I don't know if you can answer me. If after installing vloppy, then using Ghost for restoration, at this time vloppy cannot be used, even if it is reinstalled, it is useless. Is there any way to solve this?

Hehe, upstairs, you don't have to use vloppy! Instead, use: Avlgomgr - a new-generation boot tool for disk image files! What? Never heard of it?! Go here to have a look http://www.znpc.net/bbs/viewthread.php?tid=509&extra=page%3D1 It will definitely satisfy you.
