If you truly want to remove OS/2 from your system the answer depends on how
¨you set it up to begin with. If you setup with HPFS, the only answer is
¨backup any files you want to keep and FDISK delete the partition, create a
¨new partition, reformated the drive with whatever operating system you
want ¨to use and restore the files you backed up. If you set it up under
FAT, ¨and for dual boot, then enter BOOT /DOS once the system restarts,
delete ¨C:\OS2 and everything inside that directory including
subdirectories and ¨you're pretty much done. If you didn't setup for dual
boot, it's more ¨complicated. First, remove the hidden, system and read
only attributes from ¨all files in the root directory, delete the kernel,
wp root.sf etc files. ¨Delete and remove the Desktop directory and it's
subdirectories, delete and ¨remove the \OS2 directory and all files and
subdirectories inside it. ¨Delete the PSFONTS directory and remove it then,
boot up with DOS and SYS C:
copy command.com to C:\ and either create a DOS directory and copy the dos
¨files into it or simply install DOS to the drive if you have a complete
set ¨of DOS installation disks. This all done, you're finished.
