to put Windows on your C: drive, which will be the first partition. One
reason for this is that in Windows not all the initial boot parameters
are in the boot sector; some of them are in the first sector of the
drive. I'm not sure what will happen if you try to have a non-DOS
partition as the first partition on the drive, and then having a DOS
partition as the second; if you are expirementing, why don't you try and
let the rest of us know.
