| subject: | Re: Dreaded `OS/2 is unable to operate your hard disk` |
Hi Ray,
What is the latest kernel and where can I find it? Can I copy it from my
OS/2 4.0 working partition on a hard disk? If so, what other files are
needed (OS2BOOT, OS2LDR ??? etc). The UPDCD is what I am using when this
"unable to operate" occurs, so it's not completely working, as I
want it to. BTW, I have no intention to use this to install OS/2. I am
simply looking for a way to get to a command prompt to sysinstx a
non-working partition on the hard disk.
