i've struggled with vpc, dosbox and other attempts to create a "good"
environment for playing my beloved dos fps. apparently, because of the
cylinder rule, i can't dual boot dos on my 120 gig hd. however, can i create
a 'hidden' dos/fat partition that is accessed by using a dos boot floppy?
please, expertise over helpfulness. tia, steve
 
Hi Goddogx,

Use the Multiboot bootdisk from:
http://members.ozemail.com.au/~lpcd/downloads.html
That will allow you to boot in a real DOS environment
and you can then install and play all your DOS games. :-)
