    I'd try Vmware or VirtualBox. I don't think you are going to have any luck trying to run DOS native on today's hardware.

    How do you setup dual boot DOS if you don't want to use Vmware or VirtualBox?

    Thanks, I was programming around with: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads and then I remembered
    that dual booting 16bit & 64bit had some sort of unsolved issues, thus my request for this.

    Lets see if it is useable [ THPC: Dual-Boot MS-DOS 7.10 and Windows 7 on your Windows 7 computer ] in some manner.

    Thanks again. Post below if you know any other methods.
