Running[edit]

I doubt that RPM runs of a MS-Boot CD, Free Dos is confirmed, Dr DOS I haven't checked.

Multi System[edit]

I Setup several times computers with multi system config. I can confirm Win98, XP and SUSE Linux worked fine together either several different XP Systems (actually different versions, patched and upgraded afterwards to SP3). The trick is to start with the dumbest installation manager (Win98), install the system in the first primary partition and outsmart the later installation programs by shadowing the already installed system pretending it to be UNIX or something else. The proper part-type has to be restored afterwards. A third part boot manager is not always needed, GRUB and also the XP Boot manager can handle the job if this partion is set to active.

Converting logical drives to primary partitions and vice versa[edit]

I added the original research template to describe a few of my own edits. I'm trying to be careful to distinguish "fact" from "speculation" but if this really bothers anyone I suppose I could move some things to Wikiversity or my wiki. Before suggesting I do so please consider picking on the articles multi-boot or disk partitioning because I think these worse than this one and often not labeled as original research. In time I may be able to correct those or add sources here. Thank you. Lumenos (talk) 01:39, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
