I use it and have DR-Dos on the first primary partition, Win98 on the second. I works like this, if I boot DOS I get a C: drive that dos boots from with all my dos and Win3.11 stuff, my extended partition has drive D,E,F,G, Win98 does not exist becaose it is FAT32. If I boot to Win98 that becomes the C: drive, my DOS C: drive becomes the H: drive still accessable from Win98, my extended partition still has D,E,F,G in there origonal places. Works great for me.
