| 23569 | 2001-11-04 05:24:00 | I currently have ME on my hard drive but am unable to load a DOS bookkeeping program which is not year 2000 compliant. Therefore I would like to partition my hard drive and load Win 95 for the DOS program on a small part of the hard drive while keeping ME on the major part of the hard drive for other programs I have loaded. | Guest (0) | ||

As for partitioning, you will most likely want to use PartionMagic, as partitioning with FDisk is both tedious, as well as destructive to the data on the drive, PartitionMagic however lets you repartition a segment of your drive without having to format the rest. |

| 23572 | 2001-11-04 09:51:00 | If it is a DOS based program then you will have to stick with FAT 16, in which case never make a partition bigger than 1 Gig, Otherwise had Hard drive will disappear. | Guest (0) | ||
