You seem to be missing the fundamental premise here.  The way PCs were
designed to function, only one primary partition per physical drive can be
visible during any specific machine boot.

OS/2 conforms to this design, so you can see one and only one primary
partition per physical drive.

Any other primary partitions on the drive will be hidden, and not
accessible.

The reason you're in the situation you're in is because you ignored all of
the partitioning advice you received here, and instead let your "guru" do
something that's not supposed to be done.
