[Ham-Computers] Virtual PC 2007

You get to the DOS prompt in XP by going to the Start > Run and enter cmd

That opens a Dos terminal window.

Off and on for a year or so I have been wondering whether or not the use of
a USB thumb drive could be used to create a bootable (and portable) fully
functional DOS inside of Windows XP-Home.  Many of us remember that W98SE
may have been the last OS that allowed a full restart in the DOS mode.  In
Win98SE you could do Start/Programs and get to a DOS prompt that permitted
some, but not all, the DOS functionality.

Is Virtual PC 2007 just one step better than that?

Any ideas on how, most easily to proceed?
