Greetings,

	I didn't pay attention to the articles about dividing (partition) 
hard disks until I helped someone set up a PC --- then I realized that with 
a hard disk partition two systems may live on the same physical media. Am I 
right on this? Some time I need to run the Chinese Talk, for which I have 
to reboot the system with a floppy. Can the division of hard disks help? 
How would the Mac know which "disk" to boot then? Could someone please
brief the issues discussed? Thank you. -- Kang Sun
