- Hmmm...from email and other postings here, it appears things work better
- for the rest of you. Here's what I see:
-
- I've got an IDE and a SCSI drive. The IDE is INT 13h drive 80h
- and the SCSI drive is INT 13h drive 81h.
-
- Each drive contains one primary partition and one extended partition.
- The extended partition on each contains two logical drives.
-
- This gives C: on 80, D: on 81, E: and F: on 80, and G: and H: on
- 81.
-
- OS/2 is installed on F:.
-
- If I remove the SCSI card from the system, I then end up with
- the three things on 80 being C:, D:, and E:, with E: being what was F:
- in the other configuration.
-
- OS/2 is not happy with this. Editing config.sys and changing all
- the F: references to E: lets it boot, but the desktop is not happy. It
- appears to contain references to F:.
