- I have no plans whatsoever to run NT... but there is a way to do it,
- if it wont install in the presence of OS/2's boot manager.
-
- If you already have the boot manager installed under os/2 and you want
- to put NT on a partition... then under OS/2 destroy the boot manager and
- then install NT on the drive without removing the 1Meg partition
- that housed the Boot Manager. After NT is sucessfully installed, boot
- OS/2 from a floppy disk and run fdisk to re-create the boot manager.
-
- I know the boot manager can be killed and put back because I accidently
- destroyed mine when attempting to make my Linux partition bootable. I
- just booted off of my install disks and recreated it. No problem.
