I have 3 small primary partitions; two with Win95, one with MSDOS.
Linux is on extended partition. The Win95 directories are on
large logical partitions. I can use MS or Linux fdisk
to mark any of primary partitions active, and boot up on any
of the OS's. I am using floppy to boot Linux, but I plan use
loadlin or Lilo on the extended partition. hda1 is my production
MS partition. hda2 will be experimental; I will try installing and
uninstalling software on that drive before I install on hda1.
I will install NT on hda2, and if there are no surprises, I will
install NT on hda1. If I screwup, I won't feel badly about reformatting
hda2. The MSDOS partition is for applications that don't run properly
under Win95.
I wanted multiple bootable MS (and Linux) OS's. Linux was no problem
since the root file can be on any logical partition. However
MS bootable OS's must be on a primary partition on the first
drive. Hence all this work.
