I need to install a second drive in a Workstation, which will be used to run specific DOS based software (don't even ask) The C:\ Drive has been formatted using NTFS, if I use a standard Dos boot disk will I be able to get to the command prompt to access my Dos drive? If not can anybody point me in the right direction.

Thanks
 
Yes you can see the dos partition but you will not see your NTFS Drive. You need a special disk to see the NTFS Drive. We also run some dos applications still and have run into the same type of problems...
