Hi Louis--

    I cannot help much in this installation argument, because I have
never done Windows.  But I can assure you, from several years'
experience, that Warp 3 red can indeed be installed in an HPFS
partition.

    My understanding is that installing Dual Boot with the "easy
installation" method requires that OS/2 and DOS both be installed in FAT
partitions.  According to my leftover "User's Guide to OS/2 Warp[3]"
manual, you can install Win3x in a Fat partition _after_ you have
installed OS/2 in an HPFS partition.  RTFM.

    Regards,
