If you have the Utility diskettes, boot the computer and use fdisk to set active the bootable partition.At dos prompt do: fdisk c: Follow on screen instructions. If you eventually wish to use Warp dual boot feature with Windows 9X, you would setup Windows first and OS/2 next.Otherwise the other way around ,use the fdisk trick to make the partition bootable again.Good luck.
Summary: FYI ... While installing service pack 2 for Windows 2000 will indeed correct the issue of a corupted OS/2 Boot Manager from the installation of Windows 2K there's an easier fix than having to download...
Summary: I REALLY NEED OS/2 BOOT DIKS To USE THEM TO MANAGE MY PARTITION AND I´WILL BE PLEASED IF YOU COULD HELP ME WHERE I CAN DOWNLOAD THEM REGARDS KHALID...
Summary: I think the problem here is that OS/2 Warp refuses to set a partition bootable that extends beyond the 1024 cylinder. If you place the boot partitions < 8,4 GB you are unlikly to see this behavior....
