BUT it also has to know a little about the OS. For instance,
it has to know what kinds of file systems the OS can see,
so it can unhide those. It wouldn't do to boot DOS from
a partition that was hidden from DOS, for instance. A real
false paw ...


Actually it does just that. To boot multiple versions of DOS (or other OS on primary partition) it just hides all but the particular (primary) dos partition it wants to boot. Every time a different primtary parition is selected the hiding is automatically adjusted. Its all seemless and transparent to the user and works very well. AS I have said before. I have used this for since my first days at coop in a system testing lab at IBM. works great...
