Yes. That is pretty much what I did with my new 40 GB HD, except that I
used
BL (RAM) to make every primary partition. Then formatted the three primary
DOS partitions with DOS, and also had to run Nortons Disk Doctor fix up after
MS-DOS
because the partition tables were left in a bit of a mess and didn't show the
full 2GB size of each.

Regards,
Ron
