Can you explain the following. I want to make my HPFS partition
bootable and installable, but this implies there is some
restriction (OS/2 3.0)...
8.0 CONSIDERATIONS FOR IDE HARD DISK DRIVES GREATER THAN 528MB
__________________________________________________________
If you are installing OS/2 on an Integrated Drive Electronics
(IDE) hard disk drive larger than 528MB, be aware of the
following:
o Large IDE hard disk drives require a BIOS translation
utility program to access the physical disk space beyond
528MB. This utility program might be implemented from your
computer's system board, or you might have a BIOS translation
utility program (such as Ontrack Disk Manager**). OS/2
recognizes most BIOS translation utility programs (including
Ontrack Disk Manager) and can be installed on a large IDE
hard disk with no problems.
o If you do not have a BIOS translation utility program for
your hard drive (either on the system board or a separate
product such as Ontrack), be aware of the following
restrictions:
o All bootable or startable partitions must be
completely contained within the first 528MB of
your physical disk.
o All FAT file partitions must be fully contained
in the first 528MB of your physical disk.
o HPFS partitions that are not bootable or startable
have no restrictions.
