I have OS2 Warp 3.0 disk images on floppy in .DSK extension, I want to make floopy from that images but its size is 1.8MB and cannot be tranfer to 1.44MB Floppy P{lease Help!

Floppy disk image files are not "transfered" to a floppy disk, they have to be written to the floppy disk using the image software used to create them. The .DSK disk images are created by propietary IBM software in their own XDF format. If you have the original IBM OS/2 Warp installation CD with the installation disk images, then there is also a DOS program called XDFCOPY.exe which can be used to write these images to 3.5 inch floppy disks. It is simple to use, at a DOS prompt the syntax is: <COMMAND> <DISK IMAGE> <FLOPPY DRIVE> As an example, from a DOS prompt with a blank floppy in the A: drive, the OS/2 Warp in the CDROM drive (D:), and XDFCOPY.exe in the DOS command path: C:\>XDFCOPY D:\DISKIMGS\OS2\35\DISK0.DSK A: will write the DISK0.DSK disk image to the floppy in A: The 1.84MB disk images will be written to the floppy as well, the floppy will be reformatted to 1.84MB as the disk image is written to the floppy. If I may offer my opinion; YOU DO NOT WANT TO TRY THIS if it is at all possible to install OS/2 Warp some other way. 1.84MB is the maximum the 3.5 inch floppies can be formatted. Only floppy disks in the best of condition will support this high level of formatting. You will spend hours writing all these disks out and it is very possible that one or more will fail on you during the actual installation, requiring you to start all over again. Installing OS/2 Warp is a big enough pain without trying to do it from a floppy drive with a stack of questionable floppy disks.

If you have the original Warp 3 CDs, then you only need to create the first two floppy disks - they will launch the CD installer (with the OS/2 Warp 3 CD in the CD drive, boot off "Install Disk"/"Disk 0", proceed to "Disk 1" when requested, and it will continue via the CD). Robert OS/2World
