Hi Netlanders,

I am running DOS 4.01 on a 80M hard disk formatted as a single disk.
Now I realized that some of my software won't run with DOS 4.01 and
no upgrades are available.  Is it possible to create a partition 
for DOS 3.3 or something like that without backing up the entire
hard disk?  I am willing to boot DOS 3.3 from a floppy, as long as
it can recognize the hard disk (it does not recognize the 80M disk).

Any help will be appreciated.  Please reply to this account.
Thanks a lot to you all.

- Stephen
