- I am going to be going to OS/2 2.0 as soon as my new computer arrives
- (next couple of days, I hope).
-
- At this point I am planning on setting up the Boot Manager, with
- primary partitions for OS/2 and DOS 5.0, and a number of logical
- drives in the extended partition. I would like to be able to format
- some of the logical drives with FAT and some with HPFS.
-
- I have a CMS Jumbo Tape Drive.
-
- My question: If I boot up DOS, can I run my DOS backup software and
- backup all of my FAT drives without needing special drivers. If I do
- this, will I screw up OS/2 when I switch back to it?
-
- Please email answers
-
- Thanks
