I know that W2K/XP/etc - the newer OSs - can be happy in an extended partition, but older OSs mostly demanded a primary partition. I'd make two primary paritions, with only one active and visible, the other not active and hidden. Install each OS into each partition, then use the W2K loader or Partition Magic PQBOOT, etc. to select which OS to startup on bootup. --- If you can't see any files in the partition you know there are files: a) It's either in NTFS format so you can't see it from DOS. b) You may need a boot loader like EZ DRive to see the HD past a certain point on your large HD. c) ? some other reason --- Don't know since I don't have your computer in front of me, but at least for me, it's not been a problem running two W98 OSs in two primary partitions on the L110 using PQboot to select the booting OS. adorable toshiba libretto The latest news and information for the Toshiba Libretto owner. http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
