Subject: Re: what about a boot disk?

Go up one level in this thread


Isn't it possible still, to boot any PC into an older OS (i.e. DOS 6.22, or the
DOS which came with Win98) simply by using a boot disk?

People which have older computers, and older OS's respectively, will probably be
able to make a DOS boot disk and use it with the Win XP computer (?).

The only setting which probably has to be changed is the boot drive sequence in
the BIOS, so that the disc drive is used first. Of course it may be neccessary
to "configure a bit", i.e. load a DOS mouse driver, connect the mouse to serial
port if USB isn't supported in DOS on your system, etc. and similar simple steps
of computer usage.

Or isn't that possible with WinXP and Century 4 (I don't have them)?
