The only difference in using Windows XP 64bit as opposed to Windows XP 32bit is the drivers. Most other applications should just run normally.

I would recommend installing cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com), and making a cross-compiler (from the Wiki).

Just out of interest, why did you install 64bit XP if you don't know what benefits it has?

I just installed Cygwin, now how do I compile my os from djgpp with that Cygwin?

could you show me how ? some scripts ? do I have to change anything at my source ?
please :=)

DJGPP is GCC compiled to run on DOS/Windows. Cygwin is a POSIX emulation layer so you can compile programs meant for POSIX systems on Windows and use them.

Cygwin comes with GCC pre-compiled. It won't take much to convert your DJGPP OS source to something Cygwin's GCC can compile. You should probably build a crosscompiler (see GCC Cross-Compiler.)

Just make your compile script for DJGPP, say .bat file, to a makefile.
