- Remember, Only one of your many primary partitions on your hard drive
- may be active at any one time. Inactive partitions can *NOT* be
- accesses. Logical partitions are accessable by any active partition.
- To get OS/2 shut down and boot up DOS 5, you have to have the boot
- manager installed. If not, booting off a floppy and using FDISK from
- DOS 5 on the floppy might do the trick. To have access to all files
- all the time, you have to use the dual boot feature where both
- operating systems reside on the same primary boot partition and
- you can't use the high performance file system 'cause it's incompatible
- with DOS.
