On MY FIRST IDE drive:- I have installed Win98se (with EasyCDcreator) as 1st primary partition. 2nd primary partition is also Win98se but with NERO cd burning software and Video editing and other software. 3rd primary partition was Win2k but is now WinXP. Also have an extended partition which contains 2 logical partitions. OS/2 boot manager and eCS is on second IDE drive. I use Air-Boot as a boot manager most of the time. BootManager on the second IDE drive exists as a target for the LVM program as LVM expects only bootmanager. All versions of windows installed with no problems on MY machine which is a Asus CUSL2 with P3 800mhz CPU.
