I use a bootstrap program that lets me boot from any hard disk partition.
There were some changes in the partition table going from DOS 3.3 to
DOS 4.0 that kept the bootstrap from working. Anybody know if DOS 5.0
has changed the partition table? I'd hate to overwrite the boot sectors
and end up with a disk that won't boot. Thanks for any help.
