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.
