- You will have to partition and reformat the OS/2 drive:
-
- You have OS/2 as a Primary partition, and only one primary partition
- can exist at one time. Use OS/2 Fdisk to repartition it as a Logical
- partition. You have to reformat the OS/2 drive, and re-install :-(
- OS/2 will be your E: drive.
-
- WHile you're at it: you should install boot manager. It takes 1 meg,
- but makes botting DOS or OS/2 very simple.
-
- See the "Installation Guide"
