You can't give the whole partition to DOS without dismountig it from linux. You can't do concurrent access from linux and dosemu BIOS Calls to the same partition without data corruption. Perhaps the MFS Redirector can access more than 2G? Even if it can, many DOS Programs can't cope with more than 2G data on one partitionen. Reinhard
