I understand the following is possible buy don't know how 
to do it - pointers to a faq would be useful if this is 
well covered, if not, oh bugger.

I have a big 850mb enhanced IDE hard disk which I will have 
to reformat to 500mb approx under dos (my motherboards too 
old to support the full amount). This will leave me approx 
300mb free which I understand can be used for a second 
partition into which I can put an operating system like 
OS/2. I dammed if I can understand how to do this?

Pointers/advice on this much appreciated.
