The IBM site is awful, please help. I have an IBM Aptiva with full recovery cd. OS2 Warp ver3 is on my recovery cd. My installation diskettes have crapped out on me, and I don't know how to create new ones. I tried xdf copy thing and it tells me bad command or filr name. I'm presently using windoze 98. I want to go back ot OS. Please Help, thanks!

Should be a util on the CD called makedsks.bat. The IBM site has updated Disks with big HD support.
If you want I can e-mail you them.
Good Luck
PS the IBM isn't THAT bad. I've managed to find what I wanted. It just takes patents :)
