I've got the OS/2 boot manager and DOS/Win3.1 on a first SCSI hard drive, with the boot manager able to select the DOS partition or OS/2 or FreeBSD on the second SCSI hard drive. This is working well. I would like to repartition and reformat the DOS/WIN3.1 partition into two primary partitions on the first drive and reinstall DOS/WIN3.1 and Win95 into these partitions, but I don't want to lose the OS/2 boot manager, especially the info it contains about what's on the second hard drive. If I do this, will I be able to get the OS/2 boot manager back (with the OS/2 disks), and is there a way to back up the boot manager so that if it's truly destroyed I can reinstall it? This is not, I realize, the appropriate forum for WIN95/OS/2 boot manager questions, but there seems to be considerable expertise here on what Win95 does to boot managers-- Thanks Annelise
