Options: * reinstall your XP box and make it dual-boot with DOS. This is easy; make a primary FAT16 partition, put DOS in it in the usual way, and make an extended partition with a logical drive for XP. * Split some space off the end of your XP hard disk, partition it as a logical drive in an extended partition, format it with FAT16; then you'll have hard disk space you can write from DOS. * install NTFS drivers on your DOS boot disk. -- Liam Proven - Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk - Google Mail/Hangouts/Plus: lpro...@gmail.com Twitter/Facebook/Flickr: lproven - Skype/LinkedIn: liamproven UK: +44 7939-087884 - ČR (+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal): +420 702 829 053
