Folks,

I have tried to install the OS/2 on laptop ThinkPad A31 from IBM but when I insert the second disk of installation, the system return the following message:

The system can not access the HD or disk driver. Please, solve the problem and re-initialize the system.

It could be the ibm1s506.add driver. Update or change it. Or better use the dani1s506.add instead.

As melf indicated, you may need a replacement for the ibm1s506.add driver on the installation disk.

A source of a replacement is:
http://service.software.ibm.com/os2dd/free/idedasd.exe

In the readme file contained therein, you can find instructions for updating the appropriate installation diskette.

For future reference, it may be useful to mention which version of OS/2 is involved, and when the problem relates to a hard drive, mentioning its size may help.
