-and i have tryed using the "search" feature in winxp rpo. I'm no moron i just don't know where the heck the msdos.sys file is!

 

maybe it doesnt exist on XP...

Microsoft stopped development on DOS in 2000.
one year later, XP came out.

but im not sure what msdos.sys is, so perhaps im wrong

EDIT: from Wikipeida
Windows NT-based systems (NT 3.1-4, 2000 and XP) do not use the file, as they have a different boot sequence, such as the NTLDR file.
