MODERATOR'S NOTE: This was sent in from a subscriber who ran into 
problems with the Adaptec EZ SCSI 5.0 installation routine. I have
not confirmed this because I've never had to use the EZ SCSI install
program , but it seems prudent to alert the OS/2 community to any 
potential "showstopper" problems.

-------------
This has happened to me, and hopefully will not happen to you all.  
The story ...

If you have several partitions (or multiple drives) on
your system, (with C: as WINDOWS 95/98) and you install
ADAPTEC EZ SCSI 5.0, there will be a program assigning
your "UNUSED??" partitions into drive letter(s).

The install program will ask you to format those "UNUSED??" partitions - 
by this time, you're already too late trying to save them.

"UNUSED??" partitions =  HPFS partitions, unformatted partitions, LINUX 
partitions, etc.

My advice - DON'T INSTALL EZ SCSI 5 AT ALL.  EZ SCSI 4 did not 
harm my system.
