Ah, I completely forgot about FAT-32. If you are indeed making a dual-boot system, 7.1 would be your choice. If using FreeDOS though, I would suggest making a second HD with Winblows as your secondary OS for downloading games and stuff.

Personally, I advocate using dual HDD's instead of Dual Boot anyway. With Dual Boot, if one OS apes up you'll have to reinstall both (the more different OS'es you have on the same HD the worse it is). With dual HD's, there is no problem like it. One OS goes bonkers, you just backup the data and reinstall it (or restore from a partition image - even better, IMHO).

Ehmm, well I just decided this morning that I'm going to put Win98 on the same hard drive. So just some quick questions:
1) Since FreeDOS is already on there, so when installing Win98, would that automatically put on DOS? If so, is there a way to prevent that or if not, what would I delete after the installation? 2) How would I dual boot between the two? |

MS-DOS Memory Problems? Get QEMM 97 (9.0). In most cases you can get as much as 638KBs of conventional memory.
