As described earlier, you can add OS/2 2.0 to a DOS partition and use
the Dual Boot feature. Another way to keep DOS is to place OS/2 2.0
in a separate partition of the hard disk and use the Boot Manager to
select an operating system when starting the computer.
If users no longer need to use DOS separate from OS/2, you can do one
of the following:
- Install OS/2 2.0 without performing any of the Dual Boot setup
procedures. During installation, you will receive messages
informing you of steps you can take to set up for Dual Boot. You
can ignore these messages. DOS files will still exist on the hard
disk, but the user might not have access to them.
- Back up all programs and data that you want to save and then
format the hard disk when you install OS/2 2.0. (Refer to the DOS
documentation for information about backing up programs and data.)
