- I have a 240mb scsi drive setup as follows:
-
- BOOT MANAGER - 1MB
- C: FAT - 4MB
- D: FAT - 178MB
- E: HPFS - 50MB
-
- D: and E: are both logical drives (I think)
- and OS/2 boots off D: FAT
-
- I spent some time moving as much OS/2 stuff as I could to the E: HPFS drive,
- which I got to work, but with the last bunch of stuff I moved, I noticed the
- fonts in the folders are screwed up and courier font doesn't take effect even
- though I can choose it. Also, I've decided what I really want is to run OS/2
- (and specific OS/2 stuff) from an HPFS drive, ie have it boot from the E: HPFS
- logical drive. So I'm gonna re-install. My question is: what is the best way
- to remove all evidence of the old OS/2 (EA's etc)? I know I could move stuff
- around using real DOS and lose the EA's is that the best way? Actually I have
- a bunch of stuff now on the E: HPFS drive, which I'll want to strip of old EA's
- What's the best way to go about all this?
