Dual Boot Windows and OS/2-eComStation

Adding OS/2 Warp 4.5 on Windows Vista Boot Manager

OS/2 Warp 4.5 has to be installed on an HPFS partition on your hard disk.

To be able to add OS/2 Warp 4.52 on you Vista Boot Manager you require the following:

  • Windows Vista (I used rel 6000)
  • OS/2 Warp 4.52 already installed on a HPFS partition of you HardDisk
  • Neosmart EasyBCD for Windows Vista (If you want to make you life easier)


1.- Boot Windows Vista and install EasyBCD.
2.- Open Easy BCD.
3.- Go to "Add/Remove Entries" from the buttons on your left. On this Windows you will see the entries installed on you Vista Boot Manager.

5.- On Type select "Grub"
6.- Put a name like "OS/2 Warp 4.52 Fix 5"
7.- Select the Hard Disk and Partition where OS/2 is installed. On my case is on the second partition of my primary hard disk (HDD=0, Partition=2)
