I am booting DR-Dos, PCDOS 7, Win95, and NT4 all from the
same primary partition. System Commander does it
all. I have also had Linux and Warp3/4 in the mix in
the past. System Commander has good documentation
and I followed their directions. W95 will give trouble
if it is not installed first, but that is the only problem.
My only regret is that I have to format all my HDs in
FAT16 because that is the only commonly supported format.
cheers,
