Win95 AFAIK. No version I've tried has ever found it necessary to disrupt any type 82 or 83 partition made in conformance to standard M$ starts at start of cylinder, ends at end of cylinder partition format - as long as it was provided an appropriate place to put itself. Normally I partition prior to beginning ANY type of installation, and doz simply does not complain when it finds an active primary it can use, or in addition a logical FAT, FAT32 or NTFS that I tell it to install to. If it's destroying some pre-existing partitioning, it must be because you've offered it no suitable place to put itself. Installing doz first is not necessary, and indeed not always even possible. http://mrmazda.no-ip.com/install-doz-after.html -- "The basis of our Bill of Rights comes from the teachings we get from Exodus and St. Matthew, from Isaiah and St. Paul.
