 RB> wow!! 8 partitions, how a drive accept only 4 partitions,

Not hard at all. The logical partitions are in an extended partition. You can
only have 4 primary partition on one drive. By using an extended partition as
one of those, you can put 'logical' drive until you run out of drive letters.

 RB> I presume which you have two harddrives, right?!

 RB> Or OS/2 dont have this limit?

Yes. it is limited to 24 'drives' or 26 if you include a: and b:

Have a good day!!
