hi

when i said its a non-Dos partition, i meant that the partition is not native to Windows.

though it is not native to windows, u can still install windows OS in a NTFS partition, but the thing is you cannot go for an allocation like C:, D:, E: different drives in windows

if partition type is NTFS only one drive -> entire hard disk space would come under primary drive


as you are installing unix, type of partitions you can make use of is ext2fs, ex3fs, swap etc


the partition types that i have mentioned above are few in numbers. There are many other types of partitions particular to an OS.
