- Running a DOS window from OS/2 will give you access to your HPFS
- partition with no problems. Usually almost everything you would want to
- do in a DOS window you can do in an OS/2 window anyway.

- The only time you can't access the HPFS drive is if you boot DOS from a
- floppy (or another HDD) or if you boot a specific DOS version into a VDM
- through a DOS image.
