All DOS versions that don't use type 0Fh for the extended partition on drives >8Gb or can't see anything past 8 Gb. W95OSR2 was the first with the feature, and since that version is officially windoze rather than DOS, it's safe enough just to say DOS can't. Those who have the later version wouldn't be asking the original question, which is how you get rid of Linux partitions from a DOS boot when FDISK wouldn't let you delete a non-DOS partition. -- "Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
