- EXAMPLES OF HARD DISK MAPPING for OS/2 2.X, WARP

- Please Read Entire Document For Full Explanation of Procedures
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
-
- When setting up your system, only one primary partition can be
- assessible (active) on each hard disk at any system startup. On
- the other hand, all the logical drives within the extended
- partition are accessible, provided their file system formats are
- compatible with the starting operating system. For example, you
- have DOS 5.0 in one primary partition and OS/2 2.1 in another
- primary partition. One of your logical drives is formatted for
- FAT and contains a variety of DOS programs. You can start the
- DOS programs from either of the primary partitions.
-
- It is also important to understand what happens to the drive
- mapping if you ADD a hard disk AFTER you install OS/2 2.1. The
- logical drives on your existing hard disk will be remapped.
-
-
- ================================================================
-
- EXAMPLE OF MAPPING ONE HARD DISK:
-
- NOTE: The following examples apply to OS/2 2.X and WARP.
-
- If you have this as an existing hard disk set up as shown and
- you add a second hard disk to your system. The primary partition
- of the second hard disk will be assigned D. The logical drives of
- your first hard disk will be remapped. The existing logical
- drive D becomes E, E becomes F, and so forth.
-
-
- Primary (Boot Manager) = No drive letter
-
- Primary (DOS 5.0) |
- Primary (OS/2 1.3) | = C:
-
- Logical Drive |
- (OS/2 2.1) | = D:
- ()S/2 WARP)
-
- Logical Drive (Data) | = E:
-
- Logical Drive (Data) | = F:
-
- ================================================================
-
- EXAMPLE OF ADDING ANOTHER HARD DISK OR MAPPING TWO HARD DISKS
-
- OS2 2.1 is in the logical drive assigned a E. All references to
- the drive letter (for example, statements in your CONFIG.SYS and
- INI files) have to change. For this reason, it is preferable
- to place only logical drives on the hard disk that you are
- adding.
-
- NOTE: You can assign OS/2 WARP instead of OS/2 2.1.
-
- Boot Manager |=No drive letter
