Two HD's. #1 is an 8.4 gig with a Boot Manager partition and a 636 DOS
partition. The rest of the drive is to be partitioned later. #2 is
another 8.4 with 4 partitions; D: ia 636 primary HPFS, E: and F: are
both 2 gig FAT partitions, and the rest is H:, HPFS. OS/2 has Q reserved
so that the hard drive, to OS/2 is R. The system was working fine.
Installed the CD-ROM driver in the DOS C:. On boot and after autoexec
completes, the message in the subject line appears. Booting into OS/2 on
D: presents no problem. FDisk shows everything as it was before.

DOS. on C: sees the second and third partitons on HD 2 as it should, as
D: and E:, but it doesn't show the CD ROM. As sutoexec runs, however,
the CDROm is detected.

So! What can be done about this?

Thanks,
Tony A
