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. Felt like clearing that up...thanks if i'm wrong, don't bother flaming me, just make a kind correction ----- Boltz
