adding DOS before Windows

Thread needs solution

I want to add MS-DOS to my Windows 7 system. I think this needs to be with a FAT partition under 2GB, first partition on first disk. Section 3.6 of user guide cautions on alignment issues. If I shrink my Windows partition on the first disk and add a 1.024 GB FAT partition at the start of the drive, will the Windows partiton be correctly aligned?

Hi Twizzard,

When you shrink a partition it is aligned to the next sector. Most disks have 512 byte sectors, if you have a disk with 4k sectors DD will align correctly (at least when you clone a partition, from User Guide).
