System partition referred to as boot partition and vice versa On page 2-6, the fourth through ninth sentences of the second paragraph in the "FAT and FAT32" section read: "If you are setting up a computer for dual booting, you need to format the system partition that contains the older version of Windows with FAT or FAT32. For example, if drive C is the system partition that holds Windows 98, you could format drive C as FAT or FAT32. You should then format the system partition that will hold Windows XP as NTFS. Finally, for multiple booting to be successful, the boot partition must be formatted using a file system that all installed operating systems can access. For example, if you are dual-booting between Windows XP and Windows 95, the boot partition (as well as the system partition on which Windows 95 is installed) would have to be formatted with FAT." They should read: "If you are setting up a computer for dual booting, you need to format the boot partition that contains the older version of Windows with FAT or FAT32.
