TITLE :How MS-DOS 6 Upgrade Setup Handles NT Flexboot
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system version 6.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary:
Microsoft Windows NT has a Flexboot feature that allows you to choose
the operating system you want to start: Windows NT or MS-DOS. This
feature is controlled by the Windows NT custom master boot record
(MBR), which calls NTLDR when you start your computer. NTLDR then
loads a menu for you to choose which operating system to start. If you
choose MS-DOS, a hidden file called BOOTSECT.DOS is read to start
MS-DOS.
More Information:
If Setup detects NTLDR and BOOTSECT.DOS, it does not update the MBR,
thus preserving Flexboot.
