AC>right now, I have 2 hds.. partitioned into 5 hpfs partitions. since windows

AC>So, OS/2 should still boot as drive C, right? well, whenever I try to boot

AC>what am I doing wrong?

I believe the first primary partition on second drive is assigned
letter D:.  You can check this by running OS/2's FDISK from a set of
OS/2 utility diskettes and see what drive letters it assigns.

Did you run SYSINSTX to put a boot sector onto the new drive?  I think
the syntax is SYSINSTX A: C:
