Hello folks.
Thinking of buying a pc with dr-dos installed.
Just wondering if it would be ok to format the drive and put windows xp pro on instead or if it might cause problems?

From what i`ve seen it shud be ok i think :-)

Thanks folks

Hi Mintedjo,
Could you let us know the specs of the pc. Dr-dos tends to be used mainly for solid state pc's (Flash ROM, eprom etc) which would not really be suitable for xp.

Thats the thing i was looking at

Hi Mintedjo,
The specs and price are ok, but, dr-dos is a command line o/s and does not have a GUI (graphical User Interface, like windows). You would probably need to get a copy of Windows/Linux etc to install and that might start getting fairly expensive if you have to add Office and such.
If you already have legal copies of those you can install them yourself and have a pretty good pc on your hands

Thanks for your help.
I do have a copy of windows but i`m not sure if i want to buy the pc yet anyways.
I`m gonna keep looking because i`m pretty sure i can beat the spec for the same price if i build my own and i`m sure you will agree :-)
