Comment:

I installed OS/2 ver 3 on a Pentium with 4 GB hard drive space.
Now, when I try to install a program, it tells me there is not enough space on the hard drive. OS/2 itself shows me about 3 GB remaining. FDISK from within OS/2 shows me an HPFS partion of 4GB.
Do I need to partition the HDD again.? If , so what size partitions should I make so that the program will see enough hard disk space to install?
P.S Is there a non-destructive way to partition the hard drive from within OS/2?

I don't know what sort of updates you have in your W3 installation. I guess you ought to try to update your ibm1s506.add to a more accurate level. The danidrivers would be preferable. You find them at hobbes.nmsu.edu under pub/os2/system/drivers/storage.
I hope that will solve your problem!
