by Here's what I had that worked well
Drive 0 - Seagate 1144a - 125 Meg
Boot Manger 1M
C: DOS 10M Primary FAT
D: OS2 80M Logical FAT
E: Swap 34M Logical FAT
Drive 1 - Maxtor 7345 - 345 Meg
F: Applications 345M Logical FAT
Here's what I want:
Drive 0 - Western Digital 2850 - 850 Meg
Boot Manager 1M
C: DOS/Win 50M Primary FAT
D: DOS/Win Apps 210M Logical FAT
E: OS2 120M Logical HPFS
F: OS2 Apps 380M Logical HPFS
G: OS2 Swap 53M Logical HPFS
Drive 1 - Maxtor 7345 - 345 Meg
H: DOS Games/Other Opsys 345M Logical HPFS
Right now, I'd settle for anything. I spent all of last night trying to
install Warp with no success.
First of all, I can address the entire 850 meg Drive. I have a BIOS
extender (DTC 1181) which allowed me to format the C drive as one 814 Meg (
I know, 814 Megs equals 850 million bytes) partition and do a DOS sys on it
(DOS 6.0). It boots up.
I'm installing Warp from CD and did so before. I booted from the
installation disks and setup FDISK partitioning just like it says in the
manual. When I reach the point where I am supposed to boot from the DOS
install disks, I boot from a DOS floppy, format C: and then do a sys to
install a rudimentary operating system.
I then reboot from the OS2 install disks and change the OS2 partition to
installable. It then lets me format E the OS2 partitions as HPFS and then
proceeds through an installation which is supposed to be the first 6 disks.
When it reboots, it quits by saying it can't find the operating system. If
I try to reboot, it comes up with the boot manager menu with only the DOS
partition listed. If you select it, it says that the partition is not
formatted.
I have tried every conceivable combination to try and get it to work. I
even tried putting on only a DOS and OS2 partition with the same result.
I know that the setup of the DOS system is supposed to use the DOS
installation disks, but that doesn't work. It wants to re-partition the
entire drive.
What am I missing here? I desperately need some guidance.
