Hi Ray,

RH>I'm having trouble reinstalling Warp 3.0 (Red Spine) to my D: drive.

RH>Having a small (420 Meg, FAT-formatted) C: drive and a larger (830 Meg, HPFS
RH>-formatted) D: drive, I thought I'd set up my system to dual-boot with DOS o
RH>the C: drive and OS/2 on the D: drive.

If you want to set it up as dual-boot then you will have to install Warp
to Drive C: not D:

My understanding is that if you want to install Warp to a drive _OTHER
THAN_ C: then you will need a boot manager setup and as well Warp _must_
be installed within the first 1023 cylinders (504mb formatted).

Your options appear to be
1. Dual boot from Drive c: (Warp will then run on a FAT partition)
2. Set up Boot manager, partition drive D: to less than 504mb and
install warp to Drive D: Warp could then be formatted to be FAT or
HPFS.  Format the rest of the drive HPFS.

Cheers
Mike
