OS/2 hard drive space

Comment:
I installed OS/2 ver 3 on a Pentium with 4 GB hard drive space. Now, when I try to install a program, it tells me there is not enough space on the hard drive. OS/2 itself shows me about 3 GB remaining. FDISK from within OS/2 shows me an HPFS partion of 4GB. Do I need to partition the HDD again.? If , so what size partitions should I make so that the program will see enough hard disk space to install? P.S Is there a non-destructive way to partition the hard drive from within OS/2?
