You just need a real boot
Yes, when booting to Freedos (or DrDos) it wll be C: and my W95 will be
D: and a logical partiton E:

It depends on the OSes in use.
Hmm.
I have two primary partitions, Freedos and DrDos on a drive and only
the active one is visible.
I have 3 drives, first one has Damn Small Linux and LILO as boot
manager second has Freedos and Drdos and the third Windows 95 (with Lite
Step shell).
In DSL I can mount them all,
Not true.
If both of the partitions are primary partitions, and the bootable flag
is swapped from one to the other, then when one boots, the second will
be drive d:, and vice versa. I used to use the fdisk method all the
time, I dual booted linux, and dos, so I see no reason why it wouldn't

Even in Virtual machines, I always set up very small "boot drive" (usually only
a few MB) as C:. It only

Not really, no.
Small primary FAT16 partition with FreeDOS. Bigger primary FAT32
partition with Win9x. Then an extended
If you want to access one from the other you cannot as it will be
hidden, for that to work you need separat drives or the coplcated
method, if not xfdisk on a bootable floppy or usb will be handy while
installing.

Thanks for the
Thanks for the answers guys. I see i have a lot of options.
I don't wanna to install FreeDOS in the same partition of Windows 98 because
this is complicated as hell. I will make two partitions and will be using the
xfdisk method.

I remember that. It was pretty good, yeah.
I was a PowerQuest fan back in the day, so for many years I
I still have a computer (not hooked up to a keyboard or monitor any more) which
uses an old commercial program called System Commander. System Commander would
let you load several different versions of DOS on the same C: drive. I think I

H !
How about making 2 partitions on the drive and use xfdisk to make the
partitions whitch have a boot manager that hide and shows desired
partition ? Install Freedos and xfdisk on the first and then hide it
and instal windows on the second.

Hi!

It is possible, but not easy to install. Both Win98 and FreeDOS
can use the same FAT32 C: drive, so you need a boot sector side
boot menu such as my "metakern". You can also use a MBR style
boot menu which alternately hides
