Had before: partition 1: OS/2 bootmanager in active partition partition 2: primary C: Win95 FAT16 partition 3: primary C: Win95 FAT16 partition 4: extended D: Fat16 partitions hidden from eachother by BM. Everything worked fine. Have now: partition 1: OS/2 bootmanager in active partition partition 2: primary C: Win95 FAT16 partition 3: primary C: Win98SE FAT32 partition 4: extended D: Fat32 Upgraded windows on one of the C: partions to Win98SE and converted this partition to FAT32 OS/2. Activated OS/2 BM partition with M$ FDISK Problem: I can no longer hide the Win95 partition from the Win98 partition. I can hide it with the progie "partition manager" and it stays hidden as long as I only reboot in Win98. But when booting Win95 (via BM) and then reboot in Win98 it is not hidden anymore - it will show up in the explorer with drive letter F: (E: is another HD) I have not been able to see the actual partition type (Suppose it should be 14?), so I don't know if the problem is caused by the BM marking with a wrong type, or if Win98SE is really capable of recognizing hidden partitions. Can anybody help with this? Thanks in advance Poul Dam

Poul, Win98SE recognizes hidden partitions. Andreas
