Is it true? Depends on what you mean: If you want to be able to use this partition under VP/ix, it's true, as VP/ix can't handle DOS extended partitions. However, if you just want to use your native DOS partition under native DOS, there is no reason I know of why you couldn't use as much DOS extended partitions as you want. >>Can I have bigger DOS disk if I use a second physical hard disk? In my system, disk 0 has a very small 'boot-from' DOS partition, and disk 1 has a 33MB partion, available to DOS and VP/ix as drive D: >I am presently running Esix 5.3.2 with a 32 meg DOS 5.0 partition ... I use DOS 3.3, among other reasons because VP/ix uses 3.3 as it came. -Raymond -- | Raymond X.T.
