extended without any logical devisions is legit They are a combo. I believe you have to have both. I reread my post and see where the confusion came from. I only referred to an extended partition. Perhaps my terminology is not up to spec. My intent was to indicate extended vs primary. One does not want two primaries on the same drive (unless one is me of course<g>). Some of my drives have two or more primaries. Remnants of past experimentation. You can have two primaries if one is hidden. I am catching up to you. I installed the second harddrive. I disconnected the first and jumpered the new drive to master. I then Installed Win95. I wanted to see if the video card defugalty would go away in Win95..it did not..same problem..arggh I am working toward a setup similar to yours. I will get there via a different route. I just tried booting an NT install disk in my SCSI CDROM drive. Same problem as Sean and Spots..it did not boot on the Mylex bt930 controller. I tried the disk in the IDE drive and the NT installation program initiated. I am ready to give NT another try. I will probably install it over Win95 in lieu of over Win98. (my current setup is one 17 gig drive with Win95(IDE1 slave) and one 17 gig drive with Win98 IDE1 master) with bios boot selection) I will backup the Win98 and Win95 installs with Drive Image before I install NT (just to keep in practice<g>) The intent is to make the KOT first. It will be setup as described by Spots ie NT/Win9x boot on KOT in FAT partition. 2 gig 'cause I got it and will probably use the drive for more than a basic utility drive. I want a Win98 installation available for??? I will clone the Win98 installation to a hidden primary partition on the KOT drive. Heck, with 17 gig why not? Then I will delete Win98 from IDE1 master and install NT in one large NTFS partition...hopefully, depends on whether or not NT feels like fighting me. Zeuspaul
