I dual-boot between Win98 and DR DOS on my home system, using the
LOADER.COM from DR DOS 7.03.  Boot files for both operating systems
reside on my C: drive, but the bulk of Windows 98 lives in E:\WINDOWS
(a FAT32 volume.)

If you want to set your system up this way, I recommend that you
create the common partition(s) ahead of time using MS-DOS 5 or 6.x.
Both the DR DOS FDISK.EXE and Windows 95/98 FDISK.EXE have nasty
peculiarities which can create nonstandard, incompatible volumes.
