Back up first?  :-)

I have no idea offhand,  I don't think so.

What I'd do is back up,  remove existing partitions,  install boot manager, 
put new partitions on there allowing for BM on the first drive,  and then go
from there.  Whether you want to go that far is another question.

See my other responses to you for that stuff...

 LP> Is there one to put the Win code into the red as it is on the

No,  the red takes your existing copy of win3 to use for running win programs, 
while the blue has winos2 built into it,  which is not the same.

Not usually a problem,  mostly.

You'll need a *bunch* of floppies for the fixpack,  then.
