 I just received my copy of Partition Magic (with

  Although I am not running DR/OPEN DOS, I am running PC DOS 2000.  I
also decided to go with Partition Magic, if only to keep Win95
"contained".
I had no previous experience with Win95, so my setup consists of two
primary partitions; one each for DOS 2000 (IBM) and Win95.  Being
primary partitions, neither of these two "C" drives can access or see
the other when they are active.  But, I also created a third "D"
partition that is accessible to both systems.  I use it as my download
area, so I can access internet stuff from DOS and Win when needed.  I
have Boot Magic set to no default, so when I boot up, it simple waits
'til I choose which system to run.  I think this is the best alternative
short of two computers. Good luck with your setup. -Dean Dancey
