Hi Kyle :-) 1) Personally I recommend GParted's Live CD, but if you want to go the pure DOS way, any FDISK variant will do. https://gparted.org/index.php A word of caution: If you have Linux installed with GParted installed on it, avoid using it and stick to Live CD (unless you know exactly what you are doing). 2) Did you made your mind if you gonna let Windows installations to see each other? Personally I strongly recommend NOT to do that, unless you know exactly what are you doing. In any case the boot manager will help you achieve that. Any FreeDOS based boot manager will do. My personal preference at past (when I was faced this problem, many years ago), was GAG. What I liked at GAG at most is (Quoting from it's features description): "Hides the primary partitions which allows the user to have installed more than one DOS and/or Windows in the same hard disk." Feel free to give it a try. http://gag.sourceforge.net/ Good Luck with it! ;-) Giorgos. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
