- My NT Release notes indicated that NT's FlexBoot will not play nice with
- the OS/2 boot selector. No firsthand experience, I just recall this
- note from the installation process.
-
- It is also probable that while NT formatted your C drive and you have
- a DOS partition, there is nothing bootable in that partition unless
- you do a FORMAT C:/S or SYS C: from a bootable DOS disk/diskette.
-
- Dunno about any minimum DOS partition size, although I would observe
- that given the size of your drives, you were pretty miserly. Go with
- 5 or 10 Meg for DOS - easier now than trying to repartition later.
