I'm surprised that noone has talked about XOSL. I used it to hide the primary partition of freedos so I could install Windows 98 SE. It has been so long, I can't remember if I used a 98 boot floppy to get around the you only have 16 megs of memory issue or not. I know that I created a dedicated partition to put the 98 cab files on because I couldn't boot from CD and I used freedos to do this. I had to use XFDISK to switch back to freedos after the install of 98se from a freedos boot disk. I might have used MSDOS to fire off the 98se install. The nice thing about 98se is that it is FAT based and you can hide partitions from it. In 2000/XP and later you can't hide partitions, 2000/XP sees them anyways. Microsoft's attitude with it's NT line of OSes seems to be that you won't use multiple versions of Windows and/or dos. Never mind that every new release of NT leaves behind a LOT of software that works in dos and older versions of Windows.
