I've done something simular - except that I hide the DOS partitions from
Windows so it can't mess them up (and that my two HDs total 15G - 2G for
Windows the rest for DOS). There's a program that comes with Symantecs
Ghost called gdisk that can do this - if you search for gdisk you should be
able to find an older version for download (instead of downloading the
entire trial package on almost 15MB file just to get gdisk).
