Thanks! |> |> --Eric |> --jlu@cs.umr.edu There is no need to add the seperate OS/2 boot manager partition to the os-bs boot menu. Instead add the HPFS OS/2 partition to the menu, then you can boot OS/2 from the boot menu directly. (Maybe you must install the "set-active-before-boot"-option.) Unfortunatly there is only one way to reallocate the 1.5MB boot manager partition to another system: repartitioning (at least in particular) of the disk. -- Thomas Thomas Wolfram Work: Home: EANTC (PRZ of TU Berlin) Platz der Vereinten Nationen 6 Voice : +49 030 31421294 1017 Berlin, Germany Internet: wolf@prz.tu-berlin.de Voice: +49 030 4262960
