Have 2 hard drives setup as follows:

C - 1G
D - 1G
E,F,G - 500 MB
H - 1G
I - 1G
J - 500 MB set up with a double space drive for temp files & single use
files, eg Win installs.

Plan to install Warp on D & have E & possibly H as HPSF drives for OS/2
only use programs as such as Win programs & leave the rest for DOS
stuff. Am considering uninstalling the double space but it is good for
DOS program temp files.

Right now all Win related programs are on E & F.  G has my BBS related
stuff, C all DOS/computer utilities/drivers. D editors, games, & misc.
stuff.

Not planning to run any Win9X & if I ever do still have I partition as
potential for that use.

What is LBA?

Not possible at this time. 

So what do folk think?
