Greetings,
I know I've seen this exact problem posted a while ago but there was no resolution, so here goes:
I'm having a problem installing Warp 3 (diskette version) through Virtual PC. When I get to disk 2, the drive is unable to read. I have gathered that it is a problem with the disk's XDF file format. Someone posted earlier that running XDF.com would allow the drive to read these disks. Anyone have any success with this? If so, where is XDF.com available?
Any help is gr8ly appreciated!!

Hi
Are you installing from FD or CDrom? I spent a lot of time trying to install fdd version of os2 under vpc. My supplier of voc contacted connectix tech support directly, and they basically said you cannot install from fdd. The only way I managed to install os2 was from cd rom using the 2 cdrom installation diskettes. Everything went ok except I seem to remember that at some point i was prompted to press enter with disc 2 in to reboot, but nothing happened, so I rebooted the system by ALT_GR and Del. It worked ok then.
