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,

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:
