I've been trying to install OS/2 1.2 EE over AIX on a PS/2
and I encountered a problem.  The problem is that I could
not remove the old AIX partitions on the hard disk.  I
was able to install OS/2 over the DOS partition but 70% of
the disk was still allocated for AIX.  I finally "solved"
my problem by installing AIX and aborting the installation
at the point where AIX starts to prepare the disk.  This 
left me with one partition of 1 cylinder and the rest unused.
My question is this, is there a way to remove partitions of
other operating systems using only the OS/2 software provided?
