Subject:	SCOUG-Help: How to Make Windows XP and Warp Co-Exist?

I've tried installing Windows XP onto a FAT32 primary C: partition before
OS/2 using the method described in a Voice article which listed Hank Kelder's
FAT32.IFS, DANIDASD.DMD, a post-FP10 version of FDISK.COM and its Boot
Manager as the requirements.

I followed that article to the letter but OS/2 wouldn't boot.

OK, so I started again:

Installed OS/2 (with the above-mentioned FAT32 support) first and then tried
installing Windows XP to a partition *after* OS/2. But all I got for my
trouble was that the Windows XP installation insisted on reformatting an
already existing but empty HPFS partition as FAT32 and in the process it
completely corrupted the whole physical drive.

I was able to recover from that problem but now I'm back to square one!

How do I make Windows XP and OS/2 co-exist?

I have 2 physical IDE drives of 38162Mb capacity each if that helps anyone.

Can anyone point me to a step-by-step process to ge these 2 OSes successfully
installed?

Thanks.
