Comment: I need an OS2 tutor.
I would like to install os2/warp 4 on my
computer, I am willing to pay for successful
help.
My system is set up like this:
Gigabyte GA-7ZX-1 Motherboard w/Duron 700 CPU
384MB PC133 Ram
GeForce2 Prophet MX Video
2 Maxtor 20gig UDMA66 Hard Drives.
Phillips CDRW800 CDRW
Samsung 6x DVD ROM
ESS Audio
Ok currently my system is set up like this:
On HDA I have 2 partitions half Fat32 WinME
and Half NTFS Win2k
On the second HD I have 10gigs BFS BEOS OS
and the rest FAT32 Labeled "Backup" which i
use for just that.
BEOS Bootman loads itself and the
NTbootmanager giving me two choices at boot:
BEOS or windows, if I select windows I am
then in the NT BOOTLOADER and can choose
between win2k and WINME.
My backup partition is close to 10gigs in
size with less than 1/10 of it full, I figure
I can use Partition Magic 6.01 to split that
partition in half and give a 5gig partition
to OS2.
After I do that and make the partition HTFS,
how do I go about setting up OS@. I will use
any bootmanager that will work.
What I am looking for is someone who will
take the time to troubleshoot this with me
either over the phone or on an instant
message program.
As I said before I am willing to compensate
you for your time, thank you very much.
Matthew

If you want to install OS/2 you probably need to do it a little different. Warp4
needs to be installed in the first 8GB of the HD so you might need to shrink your 10GB HD to 5 move it to the back, move the BFS Partion (not sure if PQM can do this) and create an partion in front of it. To get [OS/2, BEOS,BACKUP].
OS/2 comes with an BM which you can use or you can probably use the BEOS BM and simply add the logical partion for OS/2 to it. The important thing is to update your OS/2 boot floppys with the latest IDE drivers so that larger HDs are supported. Look in the software/drivers sections here on the server for an link to the newer drivers. Also add a SET COPYFROMFLOPPY=YES to the config sys on the floppy so that the install will copy the updated drivers from there and not the one form the CDROM.
Driveres needed are:
IDE drivers ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/system/drivers/storage/danis506r138.zip
CDDROM/DVD drivers
ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/system/drivers/storage/daniatapi.zip
New Windows partition types ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/system/drivers/storage/danidasd.zip
FAT32 drivers
ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/system/drivers/filesys/os2fat32.zip
after the install add
http://home.clara.net/orac/files/os2/aspirb4.zip
loook at
http://en.os2.org/software/driver/?group=6
for soundcard drivers for your card. As for the graphicscard I would suggest
using SDD:
