You can move your BeOS system to a logical drive within your extended partition.
\nUsing PartitionMagic, fdisk, or other partitioning software, create an empty logical drive within your extended partition. You’ll probably want to allocate space for it at the very end of your hard disk.
\nFormat your new logical drive as a DOS partition and label it with a name of your choice, let’s say „FREE“ for example.
\nFrom within BeOS, run the Installer application.
\nInstall a new BeOS system onto your new „FREE“ logical drive. Installer will copy everything from your basic BeOS system to the new drive\/partition. At this time you can block your new logical drive any way you want (let’s say 4K) and also rename your partition\/logical drive from „FREE“ to „BeOS New“ for example.
\nYou can also choose to boot this new partition by default via the Boot preferences panel by launching it and choosing „BeOS New.“ Voila, BeOS is now within the extended partition!
\nYou can use the DOS\/WIN CONFIG.SYS menu options (see example below) to launch the BeOS from AUTOEXEC.BAT. Use the variable %config% within the AUTOEXEC.BAT to branch to the piece of the bat file that runs the BeOS launcher. It will find your logical drive with the „BeOS New“.
\nThe logical drive with BeOS is not visible from your DOS\/Windows partition.
\nBe Happy.
