       I assume the partition table is stored with other information in the
MBR. Could I write a small program in C or assembly that would look at the
bytes in the MBR to find the partion's signature. I have win98 in a FAT32
partition but I want MSDOS 6.21 to reside in a partition next to it. I don't
know what the native partition is for MSDOS. It must be a 16 bit filsystem.
If I install MSDOS 6.21 using setup it rewrites the MBR and I have a 16 bit
file system with all the info I had before lost.
