It would be easier to just install it in a virtual machine instead. Why do you want to learn it? It is pretty out dated since it came out in 1994.

sir what do you mean by virtual machine.i want to learn it as my special interest

Forget dos raw it's far outdated, if you need dos my advice would be to install dosbox: http://www.dosbox.com/, its a full emulated supported version of dos.

virtual machine is a virtual computer in your computer, a good free one is Virtual Box: http://www.virtualbox.org/, on this virtual computer you can install whatever you want, such as Linux, Windows or even DOS..... and you can run this virtual computer just like any other program

Dos box is great and is w7 compatible, i have installed win 3.11 just for old times on my pc :p, and it's great for some very very old games from win 3.11

Yes you can install Dos along with XP. Just install it in other drive in which XP is installed.
