1. Most operating systems, including DOS, Windows 3.x, Windows 95/98, and Windows NT, rely on the active primary partition when they boot from a hard disk. However, different operating systems rely on the active primary partition in different ways. DOS, Windows 3.x, and Windows 95/98 must boot from an active primary partition on the first hard disk drive. Windows NT can boot from a logical partition, but the Windows NT boot program must be in the active primary partition on the first hard disk.
2. WARNING! Making multiple primary partitions visible on the same drive can cause data loss in DOS, Windows 3.x, and Windows 95/98/Me.
