Comment: Hi!
I'm trying to install OS/2 Warp 4.0 in my
Win 98 HD. I made a partition with FIPS of
188 mb. When I run the installation program,
when I go to FDISK and I have to set the
installable partition it doesn't let me pick
the new one, in fact, it doesn't let me pick
any partition at all! When I try the
Advanced Install, quit FDISK, and select
Accept the drive, it tells me there is a
problem opening a file. How can I install
OS/2 Warp 4.0? Is anything wrong with my CD?
What do I have to do?

"A specific version of the OS/2 operating system must be present on the hard disk"
Is anything wrong with my HD?
What do I have to do? I will appreciate your helping.

Reply: (edit)Did you sign the new Partition you made as Installpartition ?
Anyway it is better to install the Bootmanager as well (it makes a primary partition ~3MB)
then you have to choose "add patition to Bootmenue" for the Dos or Win Partition in order to be able to boot these.
This all is for Warp 4.0. i donīt know nothing of the other versions.

Reply: (edit)You quite probably have to update your installation disks with the current idedasd.exe package.
