NEVER use dos utilities to fix the disk under os/2 since they tend
to mess up the EA for the files on the OS/2 partitions .
This depends on what you are going to do. I suggested to Paul that he
try to tweak the partition table this way, so that OS/2 will recognize
his partition again. This has no effect on OS/2 EAs.
I agree that using Norton Disk Doctor on an OS/2 FAT partition would
be a bad idea, but that isn't what is going on. (The partition in
question is HPFS.)
