- There is a problem with the NT install when it sees the Boot manager
- partition id, to get around this it needs to be changed from 0x0a to
- 0x00. This can be done using something like Norton Disk Edit.
- The procedure is (for me), 1) Set up 1 primary and 1 Extended
- partition and 1 boot manager partition using OS/2 2.x.
- 2) Install OS/2 on the extended partition and DOS on the primary.
- 3) Run something that lets you look at Sector 0, track 0 and
- change the 0a (I forget what offset) to 00
- (I think it is offset 0x1c2,0x1d2,0x1e2, or 0x1f2....)
- (could easily be wrong)
- 4) Install NT.
- 5) Re-install boot manager using os/2 diskettes since NT has
- now wiped out you boot manager.
- 6) change the partition id to 0x00 instead of 0x0a again.
- and viola! what could be simpler ?
- (there might be a way to do it so you don't have to keep
- repeating the steps, but this works...)
