Someone who has apparently been brainwashed by MS sez that DOS is dead. Hardly.
DOS gives you direct access to your hardware and is thus VERY useful in many situations.
It is quite easy to dual boot (on the same partition) between DOS and ANY present
MSWin system.

Unless of course you format that partition as NTFS. Long live DOS! %^)

Its not cheap but this tool NTFSDOS pro listed below
Allows you to access NTFS partitions from DOS and has saved about 3 times what I
paid for it the first time a server crapped out on me.
There is a free limited read only version for the download from that same Site.
