Hi,

I need to make dual boot with XP and OS/2
But I don't know how to do.
XP is already installed, I want to add OS2, so when I boot on OS2 disk installer, I get
an error about HD ( my HD is 60Go)

Helpe me, please !!!!

You ideally need OS/2 installed first and you may also require the updated Install Disks:

There are several versions of OS/2 as well plus lots of info on google:

Thanks for information,

but I need more lol
I've actually 2 floppy and 1 CD for install OS2 Wrapp Version3 and you said to use the update install disks, but on Wrapdoctor, "update install disks" ar for version 4 so is it working with my CD ?

2nd question :

I want to make dual boot, May I use boot manager of OS2 or may use the boot file of XP or maybe use an other boot menu ?

Thanks in advance

Warp3 is well over ten years old and was written too install on 486 PC's therefore you need to be aware of incompatabilities;

A 3rd party boot manager you could try;

Warp3 should be installed on FAT16, does not recognize FAT32 and NTFS, therefore preferable to install on the C: Drive.

Another solution may be to run inside VIRTUAL PC 2004 http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtualpc/default.mspx

Use a program to make two further primary partitions. You will need these for the OS/2 boot manager and for OS/2 itself.

These need to be in the first 4 GB, but this is OK. Boot manager needs 4 MB, and can be set to something small. Usually modern hard disks have tracks of no less than 8 MB.

The second partition will contain OS/2 itself. For vers 3, you don't need much more than 1/2 to 1 G. In my time, i used something like 300 MB for this one.

OS/2 will then install onto this partition, and set the boot manager up accordingly. You can then use the OS/2 boot manager to boot OS/2, Windows, etc.
