After you installed MS-DOS on the second partition were you able to boot
to it? To do so the second partition (where MS-DOS is installed) would
have to be marked as active, you can check or do that with FDISK.
Which partition are you you booting with now, which operating system
starts when the computer boots?

Just curious as to why you need to boot to DOS and/or
a FAT32 partition. What do you need there that couldn't
be achieved in a DOS shell? (Which I personally find way
better than MS- or IBM- DOS ever was.)
Also, I think IBM DOS v7 supports NTFS partitions.

John,after i install MS-DOS,i can boot to it if i set its partition
active.
The operation system i boot now is Windows,sure.The operating system
start when my computer boot up is Windows.I just want add the MS-DOS
into boot choices,if you can help me boot to MS-DOS then please help
me setup NTFSDOS 5.0 sothat i can access ntfs partition from DOS.Thank
John!

You do not need DOS, you need to boot to anything but
the windows drive you are targetting.
If you can afford a 2nd hard drive, install Windows on it
as well. Now you'll have 2 copies of windows on two
drives on one system. (Hint un-cable drive #1, while
installing windows on drive #2)
Change the BIOS to boot from drive #1 or drive #2.
While booted to drive #2, you can make any changes
you want to any file or directory or drive #1 (and visa-
versa).
There are many other benefits to being able to boot to
either drive 1 or 2.

Please not that in Xp, it can only create 32GB FAT32 partitions and
each file must not be greater than 4GB. Any hard driver bigger that
32Gb will more than likely be set to NTFS, which can not be accessed
directly with most versions of DOS.
All is not lost, there exists several "boot" CDs which will let you
access all XP NTFS partitions so that you can manage the XP.
Boot to your Windows XP installation and from the command prompt run the
Debug command to create a boot sector file for the DOS installation on
the second partition. You can run these commands at the debug screen,
but an even easier way is to just copy them to a file and have debug run
them automatically. Copy the stuff *between* the === lines and save it
in a notepad file as READ.SCR, save the file in an easy to find and
navigate to directory, the root folder of the XP installation drive
(C:\) is as good a place as any other:
READ.SCR
============================================
L 100 3 0 1
N C:\BOOTSECT.DOS
R BX
0
R CX
200
W
Q
============================================
Now, start a command prompt session and navigate to the folder where the
READ.SCR file is located and issue the following command:
debug <read.scr
This will create a C:\BOOTSECT.DOS file from the boot sector of the DOS
installation on partition 2. For this file to work Windows XP must be
installed on the first partition and DOS must be installed on the second
(D:\) partition of the same disk. Verify in the root folder (C:\) of
the XP NTFS drive to make sure that the newly created bootsect.dos file
is present, it will be in the root folder along with the hidden system
files ntldr, boot.ini and NTDETECT.COM.
Now edit the boot.ini file and under the [operating systems] section add
an extra line for the DOS installation:
c:\="DOS"
The boot.ini file will now look something like this:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows XP
Professional" /fastdetect
c:\="DOS"
You should now be able to boot the DOS installation on the second
partition. If it doesn't work post again and we can try another
slightly different method of arriving at the same goal.
