More particularly,
NT can boot ONE additional OS besides itself, which
can be DOS or something else.,


As a general question, the above would indicate one could not have a triple-boot system..DOS, Win95/98 and NT. Just wondering if there were any exceptions to the NT + one OS rule..

As an added bonus, you now have a way to repair the NT
boot sector independent of the NT install. That's one
of the real bonuses of all of this.


By *all this* you mean having a separate install of real DOS bootable from BIOS by any of the methods you mentioned or the creation of the bootable floppies or having both which is currently my objective?

If I do have to install DOS after NT, which of the methods you and ZP outlined should I use or which would you use if thats more appropriate a question? I am unsure as to how to choose. My goals are to have real Dos available for boot from BIOS and the bootable DOS floppy.
