A decade ago I set up a machine with MSDOS in the root sector, WinXP then
Quantian (knoppix/debian). I actually moved XP over by 650MB despite warnings
an it works still, a decade late. (But I am unable to access that machine for
a few months)

I want to replicate it on an old Dell Vostro laptop but there is a 24MB/100MB
NTFS "System" partition at zero sector.

Can I still set up an MSDOS partition? Would it be preferable to use WinXP
because this is a Win7 feature?
