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,
