Thank you I did a mistake in my previous message: the problem exists not only in the before-installation, but in the after-instalaltion as well - no way to find a way) I suppose in the before-install the boot file must not be created - as for the unique OS at the moment. But in the after- one it should do - and does not. I think the problem is of me, not of the install method) - as once I could boot the three WinXP, DOS71 and FreeDos separately with the WinXP bootloader, only don`t remember what a way I did it. It`s more interesting to use the FreeDos as a "pure" system. And I`ll try till it goes well. I like your OS. Thank you)
