  First, you must do this from a cold boot (power switch off). When you 
hit the power, hold down the mouse buttons. A menu will come up with
an option to boot 2.0 or 1.3 off the hard drive or floppies. When in 1.3,
you will not be able to use the System_2.x partition, so I suggest you
either make a common partition or just duplicate you special c: programs.
The partition should have about 2 megs free.
