Thanks for the extensive reply. What I was referring to is this:

I had completely forgotten that Win98 would have the option of booting into the "previous version of MS-DOS". Somehow I thought that by "previous version" it meant its own 7.10. So let's say I have a drive C in FAT16, where I install 6.22 and on top 98SE, with the option of keeping 6.22. I suppose this means that if I later convert to FAT32 then I'll lose the option of booting into 6.22. In order to have 98SE on FAT32 and retain the option to boot into 6.22, I should install 98SE on another partition assigned the letter D. Then I could install XP on an NTFS partition assigned the letter E. This way each OS can see the earlier ones. Correct ?
