I am using OS/2 Boot Manager to select between Windows 95, OS/2 Warp and Linux. The boot manager partition has it's own unique identifier and is being identified correctly. The HPFS partitions in question are in the 120 to 300 meg range. I checked the SCSI drive on a second machine and the OS/2 Warp (version 3) partition has a 17 id. Do you think that IBM created a new partition type with the release of Warp (OS/2 version 3.0x)? Jim
