You have to look at the properties of your drive. if its formatted in ntfs. Then those old versions of dos are dead. They do have a version that runs in that mode, but the speech programs won't. If the drive is all ntfs. You will have to redo the box with a 32bit partition for dos and then put xp back on the box. So it can set up the dual boot options. Once you ntfs a drive its not ease to get it back to 32 bit unless you wipe the whole drive and start over.
