Hi, Linda.

I've been sitting on the sidelines on this for some time and I really 
have to commend your tolerance and patience. [:)

However, if your friend has even a double-digit IQ he should be able to 
see that he'll be wasting his valuable time attempting to justify 
himself in here. Nor should anyone expect him to. The fact that he's 
even being _asked_ to should be raising warning flags with him. [;)

Besides, multiple primary DOS partitions are invisible to each other! 
This is a fact that is well-known by everybody -- except by you and your 
friend and I and anyone else whose actually _done_ it rather than 
spending our time reading "various FAQs, FGAs, HOW-TOs, and messages 
[...] on the subject over the years". [;)

Personally, other than OS/2's shortcoming in this regard, I've yet to 
see a truly valid reason _not_ to use multiple primary partitions on a 
single drive.

Take care of yourself, Linda, and TTYL.
