Moderator, how do I install DOS 7.1 on Windows XP? My machine doesn't have a floppy drive, so I want to use virtul Pc to install it. I mean installing pure DOS. Every time I start virtul Pc (where I install DOS 7.1 directly), it reminds me to reinstall it. I have a few practical questions for you.
First, can I use virtul Pc to install pure DOS 7.1 on Windows XP, so that Windows XP and DOS 7.1 coexist
Second, after installing virtul Pc, should I install DOS 7.1 directly in virtul Pc, or install Win9X or Windows XP in virtul Pc first and then install DOS 7.1.
Third, after I use virtul Pc to make an image file, does restarting the DOS system in virtul Pc mean it can enter the installation? But I feel that after that step it's still DOS 7.1 inside virtul Pc, not pure DOS 7.1 at all.
Waiting for experts to answer more questions

Of course you should install DOS 7.1 directly. After the installation is finished, remove the floppy disk.
