- No no... as far as my 3 or 4 os/2 installations (including going
- back to dos in between on some machines) go, the trick is to first
- delete the HPFS partitions (and for that matter any fat too) with
- OS/2's OWN fdisk program. Of course dos fdisk chokes on HPFS
- partitions.... just run the os/2 version, delete all partitions,
- and whe you reboot you'll have a clean system ready to
- re-load/install dos or whatever else (hopefully OS/2 3.xx ;-)
