Hi Jeff, Jordan and all intersted SCOUGians
One important point is missed in Jeff's struggling:

Max 4 primary partitions are allowed in one HDD !

1. primary C: FAT for DOS ie 512MB
2. primary C: FAT for W98Thai ie. 2048MB
3. primary for BM ie 7MB

At the moment I do not remember exactly anymore if the extended =

partition for the logical partitions is a primary too ...
=2E.. and if, it is, the limit of 4 primary partitons is reached !!!

My solution for Jeff's installation would be like following:

Starting with 1-3 as listed above and continuing with =

logical D: FAT as (system) DEDICATED for local data exchanges
logical E: HPFS for eCS
logical F: HPFS for Files
and some more logicals up to ones needs !?

One more hint:
Since Jeff's TP 600 has only a "small" 12GB HDD I would recommend =

to get a Toshiba PCMCIA 5GB HDD to gain more space.
I would use this mobile HDD as my (system independent) data tank ;-)

The main drawback here, as I see it, is that it precludes having a DOS
partition, which would be restricted to a C: designation and must be
able to
do whatever you'd want it to do within the first 8G of the drive, incl.
access
to any data on FAT-16 partitions. (I do like to run a number of
"legacy"
app.s.) W2K -- and esp. XP -- is such a space-wasting behemoth that
your
early 8G is gone before you know it. Since these Win partitions can be
logicals, I like to put them much later on the drive.
