- Well I finally bit the bullet and bought OS/2 today after a couple of months
- of procrastination. I want to install OS/2 as the Only Operating System. My
- hard disk (120mb) is now partitioned into C,D,E, and F drives. I want to use
- the HPFS file system and have only a C drive. It's not clear to me how to do
- this from the description in Chapter 2 of the Installation Guide. Will I get
- the opportunity to reformat my hard disk during the Basic Installation and
- install the HPFS? Will a DOS backup from the 4 logical drives C,...,F made
- with the DOS Norton Backup be restorable to the newly formatted disk without
- trouble? Please help! Carl Riehm.
