re: Can BOOT.INI load a DOS partition? Sunday, February 15, 2009 at 8:37 pm Windows 2000 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Jacob6601 (2160 messages posted) The biggest problem you have is that (true, 6.2 and lower) DOS needs a FAT16 partition. It might need to be the primary partition also. Create a FAT16 partition and boot from a floppy to determine if you can see it. Once you get the floppy to recognize a partition, continue to boot from a floppy for access to DOS and SHELL out the command processor in the Config.sys file: SHELL=d:\DOS\DOS6\COMMAND.COM D:\DOS\DOS6 /P Reading/d-loads: http://oldfiles.org.uk/ Written in response to: Can BOOT.INI load a DOS partition?
