Use a Windows boot disk to partition the drive and format the partitions.I don't know about optimal size but you can play it safe and make one bootable primary C drive about 7 Go and repeat the same on the extended to make two logical drive of 7 and 6 Go.If you want to be absolutly sure the first time answer NO to the first question about managing large size or LBA and you will get FAT 16 partitions a format that OS/2 can manage readily.Microsoft tools like fdsik are easy to use and dependable.Download a Windows 98 SE boot disk from
http://www.bootdisk.com
Good luck.
