I have 3 operating os's on my 2 hard drives. I have Dos 6 with Windoze 3.1
on a hidden primary, Windoze 98 on a 5 gig (fat32) hidden primary, and
Linux-Mandrake on another. I also have a 1.5
gig logical partion that all the os's can see (fat16). I can just download
or move files to the fat 16 and any of my os's can access it, but still
can't see each other.
Works for me anyway.
Good luck,
Don
