- Help! I cannot get OS/2 to install on D: anymore?!?
-
- My OS/2 system has been working for half a year now without any major
- flaw. But last week the unexpected happened: my hard disk banged his
- heads against the wall :-( So I tried to install the system again
- and then I ran into trouble.
-
- I used to have a primary partition C: (20MB FAT) and an extended logical
- partition D: (80MB HPFS) with a BootManager at the beginning of the
- disk. The BM gave me the choice of DOS or OS/2, and from within OS/2 I
- could still access the C: partition. (DOS on C:, OS/2 on D:).
-
- Unfortunately I cannot get this setup back again! FDISK won't let me set
- a non-primary partition installable?!? I can only make two C: partitions
- that thus cannot access eachother if I want to set the HPFS partition
- installable.
-
- This has definitely worked before!
-
- Does anyone have any suggestions about what I am doing wrong this time?
