Not true. Both HPFS and NTFS were designed from the ground up. NTFS may have borrowed some concepts that were originally in HPFS, but they are entirely different file system formats. This is why Windows NT 4.0 required an explicit filesystem driver for HPFS. Versions of Windows after NT4 no longer support HPFS at all. OS/2 also can't natively read NTFS partitions.

Yes, I've used Windows' 16-bit OS/2 subsystem in the past for software development. It's entirely independent of the HPFS driver though. I suspect Type 07 is used for both HPFS and NTFS because they were both written by Microsoft as you say. But the underlying filesystem is entirely different - enough to require completely separate driver code in the Linux kernel to read both formats, for example. And different enough for Windows NT 4.0 to require PINBALL.SYS instead of just using its own NTFS driver to read HPFS partitions. Type 07 is also used for exFAT, which obviously isn't HPFS/NTFS compatible.

The 1 Meg in the table was free space. This is because what ever formatted the SD card before, started the partition at sector 2048, this is common on new operating systems. It used to be that partitions started at sector 63. There might have been problems on your previous installs because you simply re formatted the partitions instead of deleting them and recreating them so that they start at sector 63. On the more modern machine you might also want to check how the "hard drive" is accessed in the BIOS. There are sometimes settings for, LBA, LARGE, CHS. Sometimes these are labeld UNIX or DOS or Other also. You are using CHS access mode on the 486.

For all the negative press it got, for its time it actually worked well. You could run Windows 3.1 in a window along with and OS/2 apps. What I used it for was climbing out of the memory barrier and running a resource hogging DOS based database prog. Worked well but it wasn't for everyone. Then again so is Linux

When buying stuff you had to make sure that OS/2 support was mention on the label or it would not work..... :D The first time I installed it it took 5 tries with OS/2 and all the disk all 18 of them. Then it took another 3 days to get it configured to work and use the CD to play music... Lol Then came along Warp 3, boy was that fun too, less disks, same fun, but 2 days this time. Getting everything working was a snap as the new computer was built to OS/2 specification and not Dos or Windows. All was great, then I got the idea of running a Wildcat BBS. Man that was 4 months of fun with batch files and learning to write batch coding and drawing the screens and so on... You had to make everything!!!! But I had it working on 1 node and all was good for 4 months, had lots of callers, the BBS was humming along everything was good. Wildcat came out with Multi-Nodes and you guessed it! I spent the $500 bucks and bought the 10 Node version and setup a hole new USS Stargazer BBS with 5 nodes active all the time and the 6th was the sysop login area. Thant meant 5 $200 USR 28.8 modems and 6 phone lines just for the BBS. My wife thought I was nuts...Lol The nice part was I did it on the same OS/2 system with the BBS running all 5 nodes and never missed a call. Multi-tasking in OS/2 was GREAT! Much like Linux today... That was the BBS for 5 years, then came this new thing called the internet. Lots of people said that AOL would not let it take over, guess they were wrong! Well less and less callers started and the internet took over and after 7 years, the USS Stargazer BBS took her last call from me the sysop saying Good BYE! Sad times for sure.... (:-(

I ran OS/2 Warp 3.0 on a Cyrix 486DLC/40 with 4 MB back in 1994 (that's a lot of fours). I recall it was a bit quicker than the 486 in your video. One issue could be that you need to install the right video drivers as it's currently running in 640x480 16 colour. But it still seems unusually slow to me. As for games, OS/2 didn't have much ported to it. I believe there's an OS/2 version of SimCity, but I wouldn't bother running it on such a slow PC.

Also, Windows 3.1 is baked into OS/2 Warp, so you could run Windows 3.1 games if you want. A Pentium or PII would be fine to run Warp. I know you don't like to read, but you should get Warp for Dummies, which let me know how to use it.

OS2 initially used three disks to boot but from OS2 Warp 4 convenience package which turned it into OS2 Warp 4.52 which could boot from CD, Currently I use Arca OS which is an updated Waro 4.52 with support for modern hardware such as USB 3 many forms of Sata and soon will go from Beta for support for EFI instead of legacy BIOS based systems. HPFS File system was considerably better than most file systems and only ZFS or JFS is an actual improvement and JFS is also an option in ArcaOs OS2 Warp 4 was also the first operating system that allowed Voice commands to use the operating system shades of Star Trek there and when it comes to Dos it will run anything Dos better than Dos have a Dos program that needs EMS Memory just set the parameters for that software and if another Dos program needs XMS memory simply set the parameters for that program to start with XMS. Back in the Dos days you needed a different Config Sys file and a menu to change from EMS to XMS when booting the config sys you needed so to change from EMS to XMS it needed to reboot OS2 did not need that reboot and could run DOS in either a window or full screen in a protected mode. There is much information about OS2 if you search and it never actually went away IBM simply stopped supporting E the public but Business users were supported and people never realised ATM's ran on OS2 and the Train Networks in America ran on OS2.

Installing Warp 3 or 4 was a pain in the neck. They were so finiky about hardware : If the HD was too large, it would not install. If there was too much RAM or too little, it would not install. If the RAM was too fast or too slow, it would not install. If the RAM was miss match, it would not install. If your CPU was too fast or too slow, it would not install. On top of that, if you had a CD player for which there was no OS/2 specific drivers, you couldn't even begin the installation. So many sleepless nights... No fun! No fun at all! Still, It was great OS and it's unfortunate M$ killed it.

Warp 4 was limited to 4.3 gig HDD unless you got the updated install floppies which allowed up to 8 gigs HDD.

There is some OS/2 software on Winworld. And of course OS/2 should be able to run most DOS software. It also had a claim to do a better Windows than Windows, so I'd expect at least _some_ Windows 3 software to run. Win 4 was Win95, so you'll know the era.
