First put your cd in the drive then goto
a command prompt OS/2 WINDOW will work.
goto your cd drive (ie "d") or whatever your cd is have three floppies ready then type
"makedsks"you will then be prompted on what
to do next.

If you are tyring to make the three disk set
to start an install you need three new disks
(HD Disks), you should see two square holes
on the back. Go to a dos prompt, put your CD
in the drive. Change to the cd drive eg D:
type dir to make certain that the cd is in
the drive.

type cdinst

Follow the prompts. The copy routine is very
careful and it verifies the disk. You may
have a weak floppy drive. Try on another
machine.
