- Quite easy, if you have the primary partition from the first disk drive
- formatted with FAT. In this case make a copy of the Boot-Sector (logical
- sector 0) with Norton-Utilities or similar. Then install DOS and Windows
- just as normal. Insert the line "C:\ = MS-DOS" into BOOT.INI and copy
- your saved boot-sector back to logical sector 0.
-
- If your primary partition on the first drive is not FAT, you have to
- reformat it and thus loosing all the data on it.
