   I looked through the C: HDD but there wasn't another config.sys there.   
   DOSBOX makes a CONFIG.COM file when it is in use but no config.sys .

   I keep a formatted cartridge in it with some files on it so that drive   
   will be seen at BOOT, just in case I want to used the drive for   
   something.   
   The cartridge isn't bootable, but I might try seeing if I put SYSTEM   
   files on it to find out if it would start up whatever is on it when   
   I BOOT up some time.   
   I never thought of booting from the removable cartridge drive as I have   
   done with CD's in the CD Drive.   
      
   This is the second time I tried writing this Reply Message.   
   20 minutes ago I was looking at a Microsoft Works Word Processor file   
   I made about DOSBOX, and I heard a CLICK, then the screen went black   
   and the XP box Booted Up all on its own.
