- It has been stated in this thread that the boot manager of OS/2 2.0 allows
- several partitions for several different operating systems to share the
- same disk. This is all well and good, but someone also stated that the diff
- OS's can't read each others partitions. This statement is only partially
- true. If OS/2 is installed using the FAT for both OS/2 and DOS, they will/
- should interchange, regardless of which u boot with. OS/2 will read DOS and
- others when you boot with it, regardless of the file system. DOS will not
- recognize an OS/2 partition if you use HPFS, the newer high performance file
- system for OS/2.
