Sorry, unfortunately at present you cannot do this. OS2 needs to be on a HPFS or Fat16 partition on the first 1024 cylinders like NT4.

you will need to partition your hard drive. Each OS needs it's own drive. Use Partition Magic or something similar. Most likely you have only a C: drive. You will need at least C & D. Mail direct for further info

FAT32 is designed so that it cannot be defiled by OS/2, get a real OS.
