Now I can´t access       to my Win 95 so I want to uninstall OS/2 Warp but don´t know how to do it. On       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.        > > I made a mistake when installing OS/2 Warp to the same HD partition that       has Win 95. I thought that OS/2 install will make a boot sequence from witch I       can choose to boot either OS/2 or Win 95. I was wrong and want to get rid of       OS/2 Warp.       I didn´t installed HPFS filesystem and formatted HD but installed OS/2 on the       existing FAT partion that has Win 95.       I can´t access my WIn 95 files from OS/2. Only I can access from OS/2 to       DOS-promt.       I had started to work with my new 9577 istalling first DOS 6.22, then Win 3.11       for workgroups and then Win 95 .       At last I installed OS/2 Warp 3. I can boot only to OS/2.        I will try to boot with my Win95 startdisk and run fdisk to fix mbr and check       if my drive c: is active.       I still want to uninstall OS/2 Warp from my 9577.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
