DOS programs under WIN XP

I am now using Windows XP Pro on my P4, but still have to support people using my old DOS programs. The mouse and other keys are not responding when I go into DOS. I tried to boot with a Win Me disk and then work in DOS, but then the hard disk is not accessible.

The drive is not accessible because it's formatted as NTFS . You can have it FAT32 to be able to access it from DOS *or* use any NTFS DOS bootdisk .

There is another workaround and that is to use NTFS to FAT application.

When u run that app under XP it tells you the name of some system files and copy it to floppy or some folder in HDD.

After doing so u can access NTFS partition from any Win9X.

Cheers...
