I still use the FAT drive format, I use Warp 3, DV, Win 3.1, but I also use 
System Commander, a boot manager, which allows me to either boot Warp 3 or 
regular Dos 6.20 and which defaults to Desqview and in turn I also have a 
multi configuration setup which allows me to choose win3.1 as an option from 
Dos 6.20..
I didn't have win 3.1 installed at the time I installed warp 3 and I have 
installed the OS/2 - Win option of war 3 now, but for some ungodly reason 
whenever I try to use the win option my system locks up tighter then a drum 
and corrupts some of the win 3.1 files, so until I can figure out what's 
causing the problem, I run windows the above way from Dos..
I probably haven't helped you much, but this is how I do what your wanting to 
do..
