I'm doing an installation for Jordan on an all SCSI system. HD0 is an 18 Gb IBM & HD1
is a 9 Gb IBM. The partitioning setup is a little different, but Jordan wants to be able to
use the same drive lettering as was on the old system. It is:

Disk1 - 17,500 Mb

Letter Name Type Size
C DOS Fat16 400
C MAINT HPFS 502
- Boot Manager 7.8
-- Extended 16590
D Dos Apps Fat16 502
E Warp4 HPFS 800
F TestApps Fat16 502
G WarpApps HPFS 1506
H FPArchive HPFS 502
I Win32Apps FAT 2039
J Win2K NTFS 2003
K LandingZone HPFS 2039
L ECS HPFS 2000
M Storage HPFS 2000
N Win2K NTFS 2698

Anyhow, after fooling around with various Partition Magics, Boot disks, & such, I wind up
getting problems in the C:Maint partition which was a clean Warp4 install. No access to
Boot Manager (other than delete it w/no usable option to recreate the partition), no
access to adding the other drives to Boot Manager or for that matter setting any of them
installable. Or nothin'.

Second symptom is that the GUI Drives Folder shows all of the drives as folders
instead of drives, and shows the NTFS drives as well as te OS2 ones. Also, the NTFS
partitions show as hard drive (unaccessable, but show) icons even tho the rest of the
partitions still show as folders.

Help would be appreciated :-)
