    What are you trying to do as XP doesn't use MSODS?

    The msdos.sys and autoexec.bat files are basically a placeholder. It is not used by XP, that's why they are blank.

    If you want to edit the two files, you need to right-click on a dos program, and select properties, go to program tab, and click the advance button. There you can specify an autoexec file and config.sys file.
