_If_ you want to have DUAL BOOT or use Win 3.1 then your boot drive has to be
Fat 16 formated and DOS/WIN3.1 installed..  That does not prevent you from
booting up under OS/2 you just loose the benefits of the HPFS system on that
drive..  You can still have any other dirves formated HPFS and DOS/WIN3.1 can
access them _if_ you boot up OS/2 and use them from there..  _If_ you do not
want DUAL BOOT or WIN3.1 installed then all your drives can be HPFS format..

Hope this helps you understand..
