Boot Manager

If you have a system configured with a startable partition that uses the 386 HPFS (that is, IFS=...HPFS.386...) with OS/2 1.3 and another startable partition that uses the OS/2 HPFS (that is, IFS=...HPFS.IFS...), then you need to understand how the different versions of the HPFS will coexist.

o

The OS/2 HPFS will not allow the user to access any directory or file that has an access control profile that was created using the 386 HPFS.

If you have installed local security for the 386 HPFS and you have another operating system that uses the OS/2 HPFS as a startable partition, then your system will no longer be locally secure. It is recommended that you create access control profiles for all the HPFS drives that you do not want accessed when started with the OS/2 HPFS. However, if you create an access control profile on a startable partition that uses the OS/2 HPFS instead of the 386 HPFS, you may not be able to start the operating system on that partition.
