Need FDISK help...........

Hi,

I am getting ready to install Windows 98 on a 1ghz P3 with 512mb Ram system.

I have two hard drives a 10GB and a 40GB.

How should I partion them?

In FDISK I noticed options for DOS, Non-Dos, and logical, I am not sure
which to use for the second hard drive.

Also which should be my primary drive the 10GB or the 40GB?

Thanks for any advice and opinions!!!
