Well, you can dual-boot OS/2 and DOS, but only if they both live on on the same FAT16 partition. OS/2 uses HPFS (High Performance File System, the basis of NTFS), but can access FAT12 and FAT16 partitions. I'm not sure if you can dual-boot OS/2 on HPFS and DOS on FAT easily -- I think that's where the Boot Manager comes into play. Regards, Ben A L Jemmett.
