Partition Question: Here's one for you all... Goal is to have two OS's on the same system. Windows 98, and Windows NT 4.0 Workstation. It'll go on a 10Gb IDE drive. Preferably, the Windows 98 will be a 5.5Gb FAT-32 partition, Windows NT on a 3.5Gb NTFS partition, and a 1.0Gb FAT-16 partition. I'm currently toying with Partition Magic 4.0 and it's 'sidekick' program Bootmagic 1.0. I was hoping to set up the two OS partitions as primary's, and have the Bootmagic (anyone familiar with it?) activate the appropriate partition. The other primary would be hidden to the other OS so that only two drives show up. The C: and the D: (Data) After dinking around with it for a day or so, couldn't get the NT one to boot, unless I shrank the FAT-32 (Primary-1) to under 2Gb so that the NTFS partition would fit under the 1024 cylinder barrier...at which point the boot manager would work just fine. Problem is, I'm stuck with a 2Gb FAT-32 in which I wanted 5Gb. Played with it by making the NT partition first, and then trying to put the FAT-32 one afterwards, but came up with the same problem. Either I'm not doing it right, or I'm missing something. ANY suggestions would be greatly appreciated. TIA, Richard
