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

Even in Virtual machines, I always set up very small "boot drive" (usually only

Not really, no.
Small primary FAT16 partition with FreeDOS. Bigger primary FAT32
partition with Win9x. Then an extended part
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.

I have installed version 1.3 RC5 and I'm afraid I'll need to reinstall

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.

I still have a computer (not hooked up to a keyboard or monitor any more) which

How about making 2 partitions on the drive and use xfdisk to make the
partitions whitch have a boot manager that hide and shows desired
partition ? Install Freedos and xfdisk on the first and then hide it
and instal windows on the second.

Hi!
Using only one HD, is this possible or can cause some conflit?
It is possible, but not easy to install. Both Win98 and FreeDOS
can use the same FAT32 C: drive, so you need a boot sector side
boot menu such as my "metakern". You can also use a MBR style
boot menu which alternately hides o
