Thieir is some really use with having 2 storage drives. I have 4dos start up automatically load up whenever i start dosbox and i have my games in the other drive. It is true my keyboard has only a left ctrl. It's true that my video card is vesa compliant and i have only 256 mb ram.

Why the combination 4Dos and dosbox ? If it's for the extended batch capacities you would be much better off with the ol'Norton 'BE ** ' batch extender.

4dos has more commands than dosbox has.

I love how my thread turned into a techno-babble e-penis fight.

You can only access the ACTIVE one in explorer.
The active-flag has nothing to with the visibility. The active-flag only determine which of the primaries that will be the boot-device.
And unless I am mistaken, it is only the BIOS that is concerned about the active-flag when it goes searching for a boot-loader. DOS and Windows will happily work with a disk with 4 primary partitions - active or not.

Yeah, it's indeed getting boring.
You know what MiniMax ?
You are right, and I'm an ignorant when it comes to HD partitioning or using partition tools.
You may continue this discussion on your own.
Have fun.
