It is, and has been for quite a while. If you are using a new drive, and install BM, it asks if you want to put BM at the beginning or end of FREE Space. If the entire drive is empty it is the first or last cylinder. But I did mine long after OS/2 was installed. I re-arranged the partitions so that the Win98 partition was the first partition. I then told OS/2 Fdisk to install BM at the end of the free space. Then installed 98.. RW> How did you manage this, I didnt think it was possible?? See Above.. Have a good day!!

If the entire drive is empty it is the first or last Mike, Isnt at the -end- of -free space- the last cylinder?? This is how I read it. Obviously I read it wrong..

I moved the original OS/2 C: partition down from the beginning of the drive. That left 116 Cylinders free at the beginning of the drive. I told PM to install Boot Manager at the end of free space which would be cylinder 116. Win98 then got the first 115 cylinders on the drive and installed happily. Have a good day!!
