Dual Booting (you won't believe this)

[Variable]

So I want to build an old school games comp. The games I remember from my gaming youth. Either I can buy a crappy old comp or dual boot this mean machine I have with DOS 6.22 and Windows 3.11.

Is this possible? Can you dual boot with such and old operating system? If so, explain for me. I've never dual booted before.

In addition, I'm concerned that certain things may not work. No one made drivers for a GeForce 4 back in 1988. I'm sure I could get simple SVGA compatibility with it. What about the sound card though? The CDROM? Hardly anyone includes/writes DOS based drivers. Thoughts?

Yeah, I saw an article that had someguy with 30 some odd operating systems on it.

Dual boot is pretty easy but however is not always successful.
1) you need to allocate a partition with some free space on your HD
2)Install the OS on this partion
3) create a [boot.ini] file. Google should help you there.
4) driver issues wont matter too much as a standard vid driver should work and the game will no way need any kind of hotrod vid card.

Other options could be a copy of VMWARE or similar software solution. They will allow any number of OS's to be installed and it will take care of the disk sizing on the fly. (virtual disk drive)
