Hers's the way we did it on a couple of machines at work: We used 2 commercial products, Partition Magic and System Commander. With Partition Magic we created three partitions on one disk: A FAT16 primary partition for MS-DOS 6.2, a FAT32 primary partition for Win95, and a FAT16 secondary partition that can be seen by both. System Commander selects the bootup option: DOS 6.2, Win 95, or Boot Floppy. The primary partition of either OS appears as drive C. The secondary partition is drive D. In either case, the primary partition of the other OS is "invisible". If I want to xfer data from one OS to the other I simply copy it to drive D and then reboot. A boot floppy created under the Win 95/DOS 7 partition can read all three partitions. The Win95 partition appears as drive C, the secondary partition as drive D, and the MS-DOS 6.2 partition as drive E. -- ...This msg brought to you by NEIL PARKS Beachwood, Ohio mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.en.com/users/neparks/
