How do I setup my system to dual-boot between OS/2 WSeB and WinXP? I have them installed on two separate disk drives.

Thanks,
Matt

You will install OS/2 Boot manager, then add the XP Partition to the boot manager.

I know MS has tried many times to kill OS/2 and it would surprise me if after you boot out of XP you can't get back to OS/2.

W2K did this until SP2.

Good luck.

I don't think you'll be able to use the OS/2 bootmanager with XP, since I tried it serval times, and every attempt failed. I ended up without winxp to my computer system (even without any windoze; great feeling!) Also, another proof that XP doesn't want OS/2 to be on the same partition, is the the three files that were present in Win2000 used for replacements for OS/2's EXE-files for dual boot, are no longer available. If you succeed in getting everything running fine, please let me know how to do this...
