Plain and simple, the fdisk and other parts of it do not recognize partitions or space correctly on the drive. thinks a 40GB hd is 95MB big! anyone know of any updates or patches, etc. to fix it? If so, where. I found a page with exactly what I needed but no download link, so please include the url in your posts. thanx :-)

If you do a search at the top for install os2 on large drives you'll find answer.

Did that, and no luck. mostly dead ends.

That is one old version of OS/2. At the time it was released, a 500mb hard drive was state of the art. Is it 2.1 or 2.11? http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/cgi-bin/h-browse?sh=1&dir=/pub/os2/system/patches/fixpack/v2.x has some of the fixpacks for that version. http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/new/danis506r147.zip may help you see all of your drive, but it may not work on that old a version. Backup before you try this. You should try to pick up an updated version either 3 or 4. V4 is preferred since it can support java. My prior posting regarding using Modzilla and java would require that you have at least an updated v3 and would prefer 4. The browser in version 2.1 just won't cut it on today's web.

I'm running up against the same issue, I believe. I've got 2 4gig drives and FDISK does not seem capable of partitioning them. I'm trying to do a fresh install. I've checked out the drivers mentioned above, but there doesn't appear to be any way of using them. The driver file is a whopping 66.5kb in size, but there is less than that amount of space available on the floppy to put it. I tried putting it on the harddrive, but unfortunately, without the driver, it cannot see said drive to read the file name. Any suggestions on how to handle this? Are there any of the drivers on Disk 1 that are not necessary in this day and age? I had thought to remove the SCSI driver, sicne there are not SCSI devices, but that didn't provide enough space. I'm still searching, but I seem to be running out of options. Maybe I'll just see if I can find a sub-500 meg disk to install to. :P Eric the Grey

I've gotten it to half work for me but I think this is just what you should do. Format a floppy to 1.66MB using Program called Alknost Maxformat (or somthing similair, avialable on www.simtel.net) then copy all files from diskette 1 onto 1.66M disk make another 1.44MB copy of disk 1, and delete all *.add files and *.dmd files from disk That are NOT metioned in config.sys. then update the drivers on it using the latest drivers for OS/2 4. boot install disk, insert modified 1.44 disk 1, exit autoinstall insert 1.66 disk and type sysinst2, gotto go, NOW finish later.

Updated warp install disks are here. http://www.warpdoctor.org/dnload.html Good luck
