I am trying to backup a OS/2 install on a SCSI drive of about 500MB in size onto an IDE Drive. The IDE drive is a seagate jumpered to look like an 8GB drive and I can install a new OS/2 perfectly on the drive so I know the drive is good. I used a tool I have (Solitaire turbo http://www.logicube.com/products/hd... to perform a mirror clone of the drive (bit for bit).

When booting I recieved "Missing operating system". After reading through these forums I booted the install disks and ran fdisk /newmbr then sysintx C:

However now it will not boot past the BIOS finding the boot record on the drive.

So I am stuck here looking at "Searching for boot record from IDE-0... OK" where it would normally start OS/2 any suggestions?

I did manage to fix this. It turns out technology was the problem! (Alot funnier if you are from canada and have seen the heritage PSAs)

FDISK to partition the disk
format the drive
fdisk /newmbr
SYSINSTX C:
XCOPY /H /O /T /S /E /R /V x:\* y:\ (where x:\ is source and y:\ is destination)
