Thanks, nice to know the floppy version can handle a CD burner. I'll have=

to check that out in the Drive Image book... I'm wondering if it creates
the floppy boot diskette based on the OS/2 settings and therefore may not=

generate CD Burner support if OS/2 doesn't have that support.

I am aware of V5.0 version being the last to support HPFS, that's the
version I have.

I don't think the complete partition restore is a serious roadblock, I
could always restore to an unused partition and copy things over.
