FS>Ev, could you explain that a little bit more?
FS>Is your D: drive set up as a Primary or as a Logical drive?
D: is set up as a logical drive. When you boot up the computer you boot
to the Boot Manager.  You can see both of your C: Drives as well as the
D: drive.  It shows which of the C: drives is hidden.  Highlighted is
the System you used last.
Win 3.1 is always my active C: drive while running OS/2 as there is no
interference.  Win 95 remains hidden.  When I want to boot up into Win
95 I will select that option on the boot Manager.  When I am finished I
will use the shut down, restart the computer method from Win 95 and
select Win 3.1 from the boot manager.  When it boots up I shut off the
computer unless I am going to be using it in OS/2 mode for some reason.
In that case I have to do another reboot to let boot manager know I want
to use OS/2.  There may be an easier faster way but I haven't needed to
look for it since I rarely switch back and forth much without shutting
down for a period of time.
I hope this helps and if you have more questions I will attempt to
answer them.
