I've got an old laptop that is running Windows 2000 & Windows 98 in a multi-boot configuration. I need to add MS-DOS to that list of startup options.
I've already added a primary partition, formatted it for FAT16 and made it bootable, and installed MS-DOS 6.22.
My question is, how do I add my MS-DOS partition to the list of startup options?
More information:
My single hard drive has three primary partitions:
- 0: FAT32 Windows 2000
- 1: FAT32 Windows 98
- 2: FAT(16) MS-DOS 6.22
Currently, the boot-up screen lists Windows 2000 and Windows 98 as options, with Windows 2000 as the default choice.
My boot.ini file currently looks like this:
[Boot Loader]
Timeout=30
Default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT
[Operating Systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect
C:\="Microsoft Windows 98"
