- Actually, there's a utility that comes with OS/2 to make a disk image of a
- bootable disk. You can then boot that disk image in a window just like the
- emulated DOS that comes with OS/2.
-
- Also, if you have OS/2 Multiboot (not dual boot) installed correctly you can
- have OS/2 boot a DOS window from a DOS partition.
-
- OS/2 also comes with a special DOS driver which the non-emulated DOS windows
- can use to see the HPFS drives (This only works which running OS/2, you cannot
- use it to access HPFS drives from straight DOS).
