The first drive is 800M with DOS 6.22 installed and nothing else at the moment. I plan to install DJGPP on this drive for C Programming. The second drive is 600M with 128M for swap disk and the rest for Linux. I originally had the drives the other way around, but was told that DOS won't boot from a
