I think he wants different combinations of FAT partitions to be visible in DOS and Windows. lilo will let the Microsoft systems, when booting, make their own decisions as to what is visible, which is precisely what he does not want. Now there is a utility called letterassign that runs in Windows, (and probably in Dos too, but I'm not sure) that allows you to tell a Windows system what partitions it is to see, and which partitions are to correspond to which so-called "drive" letters. I've used it with Windows 98SE, and it seems to work.

Lets finish this thread.
IF he wants partition hiding & all the fun & usefulness of running DOS/Win98/XP/Linux/another Linux Distro all at once, Use XOSL & say "fuck LILO". Cause frankly, it sucks for this kind of thing.
How do I know? There was an article about it in Maximumpc about a guy who runs 32 (!) OSes. He uses XOSL. Nothing else works. So...take his lead.
