Comment: Just use da bios to disable the fat32 drives, make sure that the fat16 drive has an old dos with win 3.1 and when u need to use 98 or anything on the other drives, just use handy bios.

Reply: (edit)I find it much preferable to download OSR2fix to make a simple patch to the IO.SYS, allowing Win 9x to dual boot with Win 3.x. This way I can take full advantage of FAT32 using DOS 7.1.

Reply: (edit)I prefer the way that glitchman does it; I have done this for a while with win95/ 3.1/fat 32, but when I finaly found my real videocard drivers, my system would not load them due to lack of diret disk access. I removed 3.1 and found that I dgained abou a gig. of hdd space, but 3.1 is not gone in my life; thanks to a home made 386sx 16 w/ 4Mb. Ram. (actually built from scratch!)
