Comment: Can anyone help me to install OS/2 Warp 4 ? Because my OS/2 Warp 4 FDISK can't recognize my hdd (My hdd is Maxtor 20GB). I Have tried to convert all FAT32 to FAT16, but OS/2 can't make HPFS partition and cant' set installabe partition so it wouldn't be installed.
I have download update disks from IBM site, but it wouldn't work too. Any sugesstion ? Thank's for your help !

Reply: (edit)I had the same problem with a 6GB disk and Win98SE. Apparently the OS/2 fdisk doesn't work. I ended up creating a 1GB HPFS partition with PartitionMagic, and BootMagic to have dual boot, but still I cannot tell OS/2 installer that this is the way it should gone. Always stuck in that fdisk!
Any hint??
