I currently run OS/2 2.0 GA+SP and OS/2 2.1 beta, booting one xor the other with no problems. There are times when both (primary partitions on different physical drives) are available at the same time. This is very usefull when I fat finger a CONFIG.SYS file, but I don't do it as a rule. I run HPFS. /Mike
