subject: Win95 under os/2 ???

Hi Brent,
BS>I have  4 drives set up under os/2
4 separate physical drives or 4 partitions on 1 drive?
BS>drive C E F are all HPFS  drives
BS>while I keep drive D as a fat drive.
BS>When I boot dos from drive A  my D drive becomes Drive C
DOS always letters any hard disk partitions it can understand beginning
with C, it just skips partitions it can't handle.
BS>So I was wondering if I could Install win95 on this drive,
BS>or will it give me problems when I am under os/2.
NO! Win 95 will _only_ install on a primary partition on the first hard
drive.
If you have ony one physical hard drive and can add a second drive there
is a way to install it relatively painlessly, otherwise it will involve
a lot of work.
