Replying to a message of Kris Steenhaut to All:

 KS> I'm changing mail with someone only having a plain Warp 4 CD GA (thus

 KS> - He tried to install to a new partition C: an OS/2 system for

 KS> - After that he couldn't boot to his partition E: anymore, can't

That's probably it.  I ran into a similar problem trying to install Warp 4 GA
as a backup boot partition on a machine that uses LVM to manage the large IDE
drives.  That won't work and I didn't try to force it.  Instead I used Warp 4.51,
which I also have, for that backup boot partition (the machine's main boot partition
is Warp 4.52).
