I had set to LBA and have switched to AUTO now ! 
Like this the HDD's are recognized as LBA and = 
seem working well ;-) 
The changes with the experimental PC (LBA to CHS and then AUTO) = 
seem to have corrupted something: I need to check this later ;-(

I also do have only base "common knowledge" but my hearing loss = 
may be another handicap with my experiments since I do absolutely = 
not her any (error) signals !?

This is not correct and cannot be !?

On all drives are some FreeSpace =3D Placeholders ! 
On drive 1: 
502MB are kept free for DOS activities if needed: ie BIOS maintenance ! 
2274MB are kept free for temporary experiments with WIN !? 
WS221_F is the normal OS/2 partition 
WS221_A is the "untouched" OS/2 base partition 
WS221_B2 is the bootable logical BootOS2 partition 
Perhaps with this displays you may see how my system is set-up, = 
hopefully without elementary mistakes !? 
Your advice and suggestion are very appreciated ;-) 
Thanks in advance, 
svobi
