I always still wonder what the best order of partition types to use. 
and have settled on in order (quadboot): 200mb NXDOS testing partition 
(E:), DOS 2gb FAT16 (C:),  4-5gb WINXP  NTFS  (D:),  Linux swap,  Boot, 
and Root  in that order. Curious is it better to put swap parts at end 
of drive since that seems where drive parks its heads at shutdown, or 
between accesses (sleep mode). 

     Just and idea... Could it be that freedos installer dont like  the 
NTFS partition as primary?

     UPS is scheduled to deliver my 250gb eide and modem on monday so 
next week will be installing and get the amd64 tower up to speed as it 
should (no longer stuck with that 350mb dinky thing...) :) there was a 
time when 120mb was huge... enough for a subtantial BBS file library :(
