   Re: Uninstalling OS/2 Warp 3 from my 957

   Hi Pertti,   
      
   hard to tell, what gone wrong here. Basically, you can't easily uninstall an   
   Operating System like an Application.   
      
   OS/2 Warrp came with a Boot Manager and the [optional] HPFS-Filesystem - did   
   you installed that / formatted your HD?   
      
   Or did you just installed OS/2 besides the Windows Installation on the   
   existing FAT Partition?   
   Can you still access your w95-files from os/2?    
      
   In this case, it might help to recreate the original boot code: boot from your   
   w95 startdisk and try this command:   
   fdisk /fixmbr   
   and check with fdisk, that drive C: is active/bootable.   
      
   But please keep in mind, that this can lead to an unusable system. due to some   
   guesses :)

   the manual I have there is nothing for uninstalling the whole OS. When i get   
   rid of OS/2 Warp and    
   Win 95 I will start to use only Win 3.11 and DOS 6.22 again.

   choose to boot either OS/2 or Win 95. I was wrong and want to get rid of OS/2   
   Warp.
