What can I put in the fat32 partition? I have win98se but my computer is
so new I run into a lot of problems. I have DOS 6.21 on 3.5" floppies but my
coputer has no floppy drive. My xp version came with my computer and it's a
strange distro. I don't see an xp bootloader that gives me an option to load
two different OSs. I can get grub into the MBR.
