You say HD0 is 18G, HD1 is 9G and Disk1 is 17.5G.
Does HD0=Disk1 and is that going to be the first HD? Will there be a
second?

I assume the following is the layout of the old HD but with some of the
partitions made larger. True?

Is there something sacred about that layout? The only reason I know to
have two C drives is if they both contain Win9X. You do not need to
hide OS/2 from DOS or other installations of itself.

Give some consideration to the scheme I am currently using. The first
drive is 10G, a primary FAT 16 C: and the rest a single extended, and
holds all of the boot partitions and utilities.

The second drive is 80G, single extended, with multiple file systems,
and it is a plug-in. That can hold apps, data, junk...... And, you can
have several of them.

Your drive letters can only be true if all OSs can see all partitions.
Is that your intent? If not I don't think any OS will ever get past K.
