Been a while since I did anything with Bootcamp - I prefer VMs rather than dual-booting like this. However, you *should* be ok. FreeDOS doesn't recognize NTFS partitions, so while these would show up as allocated space, FreeDOS *shouldn't* think your NTFS partition was "C:" and try to reformat it as its own. (Microsoft might do that to a FreeDOS partition, however, so be careful.) But I think your limiting factor is that Bootcamp is fairly simple, IIRC. I experimented with Bootcamp on an Intel Mac a while back, and I think it had trouble if I tried to put a bootloader on the PC side, to boot more than one PC operating system (in my case, Linux, and Windows.) Maybe Apple has changed that. I tried that not long after Apple introduced Bootcamp, and we got an Intel Mac at work to experiment on. -jh ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
