I tried to partition my hd from two partitions to three partitions. I want
the third partition to be a DOS partion that I can boot to so that when I
start computer I can boot to the DOS or to XP. I got it to make a partition
but it is hidden and when I try to unhide it hides it back again plus I
cannot boot in the new partition. I tried to use Partition Magic and Boot
magic. Where can I find out how to do this or get help?
