NTFS or Fat32?

Comment:
I just got OS/2 Warp 4 and I was wondering if I could install it on my old laptop. It's a 150mhz 16 mb RAM 50 megabyte hard drive (under Fat32, NTFS is 1 gb). I was wondering which one OS2 uses. If it uses NTFS, does anyone know of anyway to format a hard drive to NTFS instead of installing Windows?
Thanks, BJPentium4
PS : Please email me, as I rarely check these forms
OS/2 Warp V4 supports Fat and HPFS. But it exist freeware (example: os2fat32.zip) to add FAT32 as additional filesystem for OS/2. But this is only possible for no-bootable partitions. You can find this on following web page: http://hobbes.nmsu.edu Bye Luc
