I have a 3gb hard disk partitioned into a 1gb partiton with MS-DOS on it,
and a 2gb extended partition. What I'd like to know is can I install
DR-DOS on the first (primary) partition, and win95 on the 2nd partition,
using something like BSL or GRUB to pick an OS on startup?

I read that Win95 will only boot off a primary partition, and a while back
someone said you could change an extended partition to act like a primary
one (using Linux rather than FDISK).. is there a program that can do this
in DOS (partition magic, etc), and would that let me load win95 from the
2nd partition (without having conflicts between IBMBIO.COM and the
AUTOEXEC.BAT files)..?

Thanks and happy thanksgiving,

Nissim Chudnoff
