Martin,

I run DFSEE from its own boot floppy (the BOOTDSK
distribution of DFSEE -- not to be confused with
OS/2's own BOOTDISK utility), or from a DFSEE bootable
CD. These are actually FREEDOS based. It avoids
having any in-use OS or locked files issue, relating
to the HDD. The image file is generally written to a
large FAT-32 partition I just use for extra storage.
