Is there a way to get to windows throught FreeDOS or the BIOS
Would it be posible to install windows 8 and see if it will let me boot or at least remove the freedos. I have a disk.

I installed FreeDOS on a new partition and I can't boot back to Windows

Windows 8 is much newer than FreeDOS and uses a completely different method to boot. You need to restore the bootloader. Use your installation disc (burn one to a DVD+R/RW if necessary), then you can do it manually, or just select the Automatic Repair option to have Windows restore it.
