Using Partition Magic 3.2 <<----has been well worth it !
presently have similar to :
bootable C partiton 890MB Fat16 - Win98
bootable C partiton 1.5MB HPFS- OS/2
D partion 500MB Fat16 - data swapping
partition (old drive:-)
E-G partitions :-) HPFS - OS/2
H CD-Rom
However...
Win98 as fat16 does not seem to like its
partition larger than 900MB.
Needs around 1.5-2GB
With created the seperate bootable partitions can
the Win98 partition be converted to format FAT32
without causing problems for OS/2 ?
Paul.
