- Thomas:
-
- If you boot DOS, you will not be able to see the HPFS partition.
-
- However, you can boot HPFS and copy the files to the FAT partition
- first, then boot DOS.
-
- Your interpretation is incorrect: I am booting OS/2 2.0 from D: on my
- disk, without problem. The primay partition has OS/2 1.3 installed,
- which I boot for my tape backup software, and to fix things that OS/2
- 2.0 won't let you do to it. No need to have DOS bootable, OS/2 2.0
- does everything I could need DOS for.
