Okay this is the situation. I have a brand spankin new system, and I suck too bad to know how to partition my hard (30 gig) drive for a triple boot. What I want is 98, NT and mandrake.. in that order.. I heard that WinNT will only run stable on a partition that is no larger than 4 gigs.. (is that true???).. and to make small partitions for the OS's and one big one for documents and stuff... I also heard that I should use fat16 for NT.. What the hell is fat 16, 32 and NTFC (sp? <I know, I'm dumb>) and how do I do this thing?? Please and thank you...
(I have a partition magic cd)
(do I start with dos???)
