MS-DOS Version 4.00 Doesn’t Recognize OS/2 1.10 Boot Sector PSS ID Number: Q39616 Article last modified on 07-14-1993 PSS database name: O_MSDOS

4.00

MS-DOS

Summary:

There was a problem in MS-DOS version 4.0 with recognizing hard disks formatted with OS/2 version 1.10. This problem occurred because MS-DOS did not understand the version number in the OEM Name field of the boot sector created by OS/2 version 1.10: “10.1”.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in MS-DOS version 4.00. This problem does not occur in later versions of MS-DOS.
