Well I would surely recommend >AGAINST< fooling with the fdisk.  I have
seen systems get wiped out with this.  Some systems furnish a dual boot, if
not get the one posted here, or do the following (which I recommend to all
those I work for who don't want/have the  dual boot option.

Make a bootable DOS disk, with a switch to C: drive, and be sure to include
the comspec option to specify command.com on C:.

I have never had problem with the dual boot.
