Hmm.
I have two primary partitions, Freedos and DrDos on a drive and only
the active one is visible.
I have 3 drives, first one has Damn Small Linux and LILO as boot
manager second has Freedos and Drdos and the third Windows 95 (with Lite
Step shell).
In DSL I can mount them all, booting to Freedos I can see Windows but
not DrDos, if I boot to DrDos I can see Windows but not Freedos.
I have not tried regular fdisk though only xfdisk there one activates or
deactivates and Show and Hide in fdisk there is only activate or
deactivate so that could work, I guess you have to run fdisk and
rebooteach time you want to change though.

Not true.
If both of the partitions are primary partitions, and the bootable
flag is swapped from one to the other, then when one boots, the second
will be drive d:, and vice versa. I used to use the fdisk method all
the time, I dual booted linux, and dos, so I see no reason why it
wouldn't work with windows and dos as well. Obviously,, I couldn't
access the linux partition from dos, because it didn't read the linux
file system, but linux had no trouble seeing the dos partition, and
another friend I had used dos/windows (as requested in the original
post), and that worked just fine, he could see both drives no matter
which os he booted.
Obviously, I've not tried this in years, but I see no reason why
things would have changed in this regard.

If you want to access one from the other you cannot as it will be
hidden, for that to work you need separat drives or the coplcated
method, if not xfdisk on a bootable floppy or usb will be handy while
installing.

Thanks for the answers guys. I see i have a lot of options.
I don't wanna to install FreeDOS in the same partition of Windows 98
because this is complicated as hell. I will make two partitions and
will be using the xfdisk method.
