Hi Linda,

 LP> I want to install warp 3 to the D drive on my computer with Dual Boot.
 LP> But I don't want it to reformat or Fdisk anything.  Drive D is a 1 g

 LP> DOS & Windows legacy programs.

Sorry Linda, what you want to do can't be done the way you want, but it MAY be 
able to be done very similar.

Dual Boot means that DOS and OS/2 MUST reside in the SAME partition, therefore 
you can only do this on a C: drive (DOS will only boot from C:). To make this
work, a small utility is used to alternate the boot function of that partition 
between DOS and OS/2. Without full details of your drive(s), partitions and
disk space layout I will assume that you dont have enough room on your C:
partition to do this. 

The next best option (IMHO) would be to install Boot Manager, and that would
allow you to install OS/2 on your D: drive. This assumes that you have room to 
install Boot Manager (only 1 Cylinder of disk is required, but it MUST be
within the first 1024 cyls so the BIOS can see it).

If we had a bit more info as suggested above we might be able to come up with
other options. 

I hope this helps.......pk.
