Comment: I am trying to install OS/2 version 4 on a new computer. The system is a pentium II 300MHz, 64 mb sdram with a 6.4 gb udma/33 hard drive. The fixpacks ibm has (fp35 and fp6) do not work. I cannot partition the hd using the v4 fdisk or the v2 fdisk. Has anyone successfully installed this program on a new machine, and if so, how did you accomplish this amazing feat?

Reply: (edit)I had the same problem trying to install v4 onto a 5.7 gb HD. From what I found out, there is a bug in v4 that prevents partitioning of a large HD. You may want to try System Commander and then install os/2 from that. Good Luck

Reply: (edit)I've actually installed Warp 4 on a > 4GB drive, one covered by the new IDE drivers, as should yours. Download the new drivers from IBM's device driver site, and follow the instructions for modifying the installation diskettes.

Reply: (edit)I had the same problem a few month ago : one of the possible options is to download Ontrack Disk manager on Quantum Site (if your harddisk is a quantum). I think that you can also use linux fdisk to create your partitions and boot with lilo. Whatever you choose, you'll probably have to delete all your data on the hard-disk. I don't know PartitionMagic : it may avoid that... And don't buy win95... It's baaaad !

Reply: (edit)i installed warp4 on about 30 Hp Vectra VE`s
350mhz/8gb,
i got around the partition problem using old faith full, "partition Magic" & nt 3.51 Fdisk
the only problem i found is wiyh the onboard network cards no drivers?you can get around that by using current compaq 3com drivers for os2
