- I re-installed OS/2 2.0 a couple of weeks ago so I could use Boot Manager.
- I partitioned my 210MB drive as follows:
-
- 1: 1MB Boot Manager partition
- 2: 60MB Primary HPFS partition for OS/2 System
- 3: 10MB Primary FAT partition for DOS System
- 4: 100MB Extended HPFS partition (D:) for OS/2 data
- 5: 29MB Extended FAT partition (E:) for OS2/DOS data
-
- I didn't get around to formatting the two extended partions until a few days
- later. Once I did, I can't get the OS/2 drive objects to show up under WPS.
- I can access both fine when I boot from OS/2, DOS under OS/2, or native DOS.
- How do I create drive objects for those extended partitions? I tried last
- night, but the Sandman got the better of me and I gave up. The settings for
- the C: drive object didn't give me any help, and I couldn't find an option
- for creating a new one.
-
- Any suggestions?
