All unhidden partitions are active. It's the startable one that gets booted. Actually no. The flag is to set the partition as active. Nothing more.

The point here is that Boot Manager acts as a pointer to the active partition, or whichever partition the user wishes to be active at that time. Hence you could have up to four primary partitions co-existing on the hard disk but only one active at any point in time ie that pointed to currently by Boot Manager.

The limitation in installing OSes is the number of primary partitions, typically four per drive. And Boot Manager takes a partition for itself. I tend to stick to the 1024 cylinder limit for an SCSI partition booting OS/2. It helps when moving disks around. I don't know if that limit's been increased recently;

You can remove a partition from Windows 2000 using the Disk Manager. But in my opinion it really doesn't matter. If you have Windows 2000 installed on C drive and another Windows 2000 installed in a different partition which it "sees" as C drive when it boots the Windows 2000 you boot in knows nothing of what's on
