I read an article about installing pure DOS under XP. The boot information and DOS system files are all on drive C.
But if drive C is NTFS, will it still work? |

I saw some software online that lets DOS support NTFS.
Can they be used to make it work? |

no, that only lets DOS read and write NTFS partitions...

Then it looks like I have to change drive C first.
But I originally made a ghost image of drive C under NTFS. If I use FAT32, will it still recognize it when I restore the image? |

No...
Use PQ to split 200m off C, then under DOS use spfdisk to create another FAT primary partition and install DOS there. It won’t affect your current system... |

That’s really a good suggestion!! I’m going to do it right now.
Thanks, master. |

Anything involving hard disk partitions should be handled carefully.
I don’t encourage everyone to do this on a hard disk with important materials on it. If it’s on a hard disk you don’t care about even if it gets formatted, then do as you like... |

Would using another drive work?

“No...

ko20010214’s reminder is right, partitioning is an operation that needs to be treated cautiously. Once something goes wrong, even killing yourself would be too late. If I were going to partition, I’d definitely back up the whole drive first, that’s the only way I’d feel 100% safe!
