Ingerman" <ingerman@chelsea.ios.com> To: Thinkpad Forum <tp750@cs.utk.edu> Subject: Boot Manager - win95 and os/2 I know this is more like an operating system question and not a thinpad question, but people on this list seem very knowledgable in these areas - so here it goes. I have a 2.1 Gb drive on my thinkpad. I would like to have both OS/2 and Win95 on the same drive with boot manager. Here is my problem. I wnat three partitions. The first the win95 boot partition. The second, the OS/2 boot partition. And the third a shared partiion ( would be D for both boots ). I have several software packages which run on both platforms and I want the share data. The problem is this: The third drive will be the last 350 Mb ( or so ) of the physical disk. I can't format using FAT because it won't work in any sectors past the first 1Gb on a physical disk. If I format using HPFS ( OS/2's format ), Win95 can't read it. If I format using Win95's Fat32, I don't think that the OS/2 partition can read it. Any suggestions? Mark M.
