I suppose you use MS-DOS of Versions 3.30 or 4.01. In this case you
*dont* need any drivers in your config.sys to activate your second
partition. DOS provides all necessary functions. The only thing you
should do is to use DOSs FDISK-command to create your partitions.
If you used some other non-DOS-program, you should make a backup of
your hd and then create an format the partitions again with DOS.
There should not be any more problems then.
