There is a difference between Windows and the underlaying MS-DOS that comes
with it, I guess :-) If you only need MS-DOS, you might be able to use your
configuration as it is now :-)
BTW, can anybody tell if this is a problem with the position of the Windows
data on disk or with the position of the partition entry in the partition
table? Bob might probably change the partitions' orders :-)

You could try some partition manager or you can backup your running system
over network to another machine to get it back from there after creating
new partition and file systems with sysinstall and doing a minimum install.
