Doubleboot

I just received a Dell with Windows XP installed. I have
a DOS program I want to use on the new computer, but
the "how to double boot" on the Microsoft webside says to
install DOS first and then (in this case) XP. Has anyone
used a different approach? Do I have to uninstall
everything on the computer, install DOS and then reinstall
the backup CD disks?

Thanks,
 
First try running the program in the command window (Start -> run -> cmd &
hit OK). Most DOS applications will run fine in this emulated DOS
environment. The only one which really have trouble are programs which make
direct hardware calls... It's worth a try...
