| No special actions are needed. 1. Insert your OS/2 CD into the drive and reboot. I suppose you will install from CD. Otherwise insert the startup diskette into the drive. You will have a boot manager, which will offer both w2k and OS/2. Notes: |

| Also if you want to keep the existing installation, you might need Partition Magic as well to be able to create the new OS2 partition without having to delete the existing installation. As well, I would suggest to use Air-Boot instead of OS2 Bootmanager since you have to waste one partition where Air-Boot is located within the master boot record (mbr). |

| DFSee is an OS/2 - eCS equivalent to Partition Magic, which works well (if a little obscurely) Stuart |

| Have you updated the installations diskettes with Dani IDE drivers? Also there is a similar thread that might give you some clues. Also how is the partition structure of the disk, ie how have you set up the partitions? If you have the 500mb in the end of the disk this could be the cause for problem with the installations. So see to that you have the OS2 partition before the Win 2k partition. Here is how my partition structure looks like: ![]() |

| I am almost sure that you won't pass. W98 MUST be on the "C" partition, i.e., on the first bootable partition on your HD. Some recommendations: 1. You need not format your HD. FDISK from the old DOS5 is much faster |

| Well, almost true regarding Win 98, if you check my capture of lvm above you'll might notice that the OS2 partition is the first one. The second one is Win 98 and the 3rd is Win XP. /Kim |

1. Win 98 needs not be installed on a C partition, prefers it but can boot from any driveletter. 2. If the OS/2 partition if HPFS Win 98 will ignore it and consifers the next patrition it sees to be C anyway |

| Agree with what You say Oli, but I didn't agree that Win 98 had to be the first partition and that what was said. For example in my case, to avoid to have Win XP/2000 to touch the Win 98 partition I saw to that I installed Win XP on my disk on the 3rd primary partition. After that I ghosted in Win 98 on the 2nd and finally I ghosted in OS2 on the first. By that I one avoids to have the problem with Win 2000/XP to touch either the Win 98 and OS2 installation. Installing couple of OS on the same disk can give you a need for couple of headache tablet |

I do not agree really, the first time I put 2 OS's on one PC was in 1994 and I literally have had no problems since except for slightly longer boot times on win98 in some circumstances if there is a HPFS partition instlalled, LILO (hate that program) and early win2k, all of these can be worked around easily if you know how All the information I have needed to dual or multi boot with any MS OS for instance I have been able to glean from the readme files supplied on their CD's, or rather what to avoid, what usually causes problems is the disk partitioning utilities that are supplied with OS's, Win9x and DOS FDISK being a particularily bad examples but some Linux ones also have a tendency to write things on your HD that you do not want. The trick is to read up and plan the partitions beforehand and use Bootmanager or one of the 3 party boot utilities, and to partition the disk with IBM's FDISK or LVM, even if you use Linux/BSD as well, the fdisk/LVM partitions are easily convered to *nix partions with supplied utilities. And never,ever use lilo Most installed OS's on one computer at once : in 1996 or early 97 that had the following OS's spread over 2 disks, all bootable : |
